Sterilization is a critical aspect of the production process for medical moulded products. Since many of these products are used in direct contact with the human body, they must be free from contaminants to ensure patient safety. Different sterilization methods, such as autoclaving, radiation, and chemical sterilization, are used depending on the material and design of the product.

For instance, medical-grade plastics and silicone are often subjected to autoclaving, a high-temperature steam sterilization process, to ensure that all microorganisms are eliminated. Metal components may undergo radiation or gamma sterilization to prevent corrosion while maintaining their integrity.

Manufacturers of medical moulded products must adhere to strict guidelines to ensure their products are properly sterilized and safe for medical use. The sterility of these products plays a direct role in preventing infections and improving patient outcomes during medical procedures.
