Raw Material Selection<\/h5><p data-start=\"1649\" data-end=\"1920\">The primary raw material used is medical-grade polypropylene (PP) for the barrel and rubber or synthetic elastomers for the plunger seal (gasket). Materials must be biocompatible and meet BS EN ISO 10993 standards for biological evaluation of medical devices.<\/p><h5 data-start=\"1922\" data-end=\"1947\">2. Injection Moulding<\/h5><p data-start=\"1949\" data-end=\"2044\">This is the most critical stage where precision moulds are used to form the syringe components:<\/p><ul><li data-start=\"2048\" data-end=\"2067\">Barrel Moulding<\/li><li data-start=\"2070\" data-end=\"2099\">Plunger (Piston) Moulding<\/li><li data-start=\"2102\" data-end=\"2139\">Needle Hub Moulding (if included)<\/li><\/ul><p data-start=\"2141\" data-end=\"2262\">High-speed injection moulding machines are used to ensure consistency, dimensional accuracy, and reduced cycle times.<\/p><h5 data-start=\"2264\" data-end=\"2291\">3. Printing and Marking<\/h5><p data-start=\"2293\" data-end=\"2512\">Graduation markings and branding are printed on the barrel using automated syringe printing machines. These markings must comply with UK MDR 2002 labelling requirements and be durable, smudge-proof, and legible.<\/p><h5 data-start=\"2514\" data-end=\"2529\">4. Assembly<\/h5><p data-start=\"2531\" data-end=\"2669\">Automated assembly machines are used to connect the barrel, plunger, and needle (if pre-attached) efficiently while maintaining sterility.<\/p><ul><li data-start=\"2673\" data-end=\"2732\">Manual or semi-automatic systems can be used at small scale<\/li><li data-start=\"2735\" data-end=\"2793\">Fully automatic lines are ideal for large-scale production<\/li><\/ul><h5 data-start=\"2795\" data-end=\"2824\">5. Lubrication (Optional)<\/h5><p data-start=\"2826\" data-end=\"2937\">Food-grade silicone oil may be applied to the internal surface of the barrel to ensure smooth plunger movement.<\/p><h5 data-start=\"2939\" data-end=\"2955\">6. Packaging<\/h5><p data-start=\"2957\" data-end=\"3172\">Syringes are individually packed in sterile blister packs or pouches using form-fill-seal machines or automated blister packaging lines. The packaging must meet UKCA requirements for sterility and labelling.<\/p><h5 data-start=\"3174\" data-end=\"3194\">7. Sterilisation<\/h5><p data-start=\"3196\" data-end=\"3375\">Ethylene oxide (EtO) or gamma radiation are commonly used for sterilising syringes. The chosen method should comply with ISO 11135 or ISO 11137 standards
