Material-first engineering for sterilization-critical applications
This range of PPSU (Polyphenylsulfone) medical device housings is engineered from a high-performance amorphous thermoplastic chosen for one reason: it survives what ordinary plastics cannot. PPSU combines outstanding toughness, high-temperature resistance and broad chemical compatibility with excellent optical clarity in its natural amber tone — the ideal housing material for surgical instruments, diagnostic devices, sterilizable enclosures and fluid-handling equipment.
Each housing is CNC-machined from solid medical-grade PPSU stock, allowing us to hold tight tolerances on fine features — seal grooves, optical windows, threaded ports and thin walls — without the tooling cost and lead time of injection moulding. This makes it equally suited to rapid prototyping and low-to-mid volume production.

PPSU (Polyphenylsulfone) is a high-performance amorphous thermoplastic offering exceptional toughness, high-temperature resistance (continuous use up to 180 °C) and excellent optical clarity. It is biocompatible (USP Class VI / ISO 10993) and resists thousands of sterilization cycles, making it a benchmark material for reusable medical housings and surgical instruments.
PPSU is engineered to withstand 1,000+ steam autoclave cycles at 134 °C without cracking, discoloration or loss of mechanical properties. It is also compatible with gamma, EtO and plasma sterilization, giving you flexibility across hospital protocols.
Standard dimensional tolerance is ±0.02 mm, with ±0.01 mm on critical features. Surface finishes range from Ra 0.4 to 1.6 µm, and we offer optical polishing for transparent windows and fluid-viewing sections.
Yes. We machine the full range of engineering plastics — including PEEK, PEI (Ultem™), PC, PMMA, POM, PTFE and nylon — as well as aluminum and stainless steel. We can also assist in selecting the optimal material for your specific application.
We accept STEP, IGES, STL and 2D PDF/DWG drawings. Prototypes are typically delivered within 5–10 working days, with low MOQ for custom projects. Provide your drawings and target quantity for an accurate quotation.
Send your drawing and application details — we will recommend the ideal material and deliver a precision-machined PPSU housing built to your specification.
