    Why ABS is chosen for dental equipment housings?

    2025-06-11 14:35:39  News

    Dental equipment production with the advancement of production materials continue to evolve and change, from metal materials to the current abs material, the medical industry is progressing in the direction of more in line with the needs of social development.


    Medical grade ABS plastic sheet is a plastic material specially designed for medical device applications, it has the following characteristics:


    ●Excellent Mechanical Properties: Medical grade ABS has good strength, toughness and abrasion resistance, and is suitable for the manufacture of medical device components that are subjected to a certain degree of mechanical stress.


    ●Good chemical stability: able to resist a wide range of chemicals, suitable for use in hospitals and other environments where they may come into contact with a wide range of chemical disinfectants.


    ●Easy to process: ABS can be molded by blister processing, making it easy to manufacture complex shaped medical products.


    ●Good Impact Resistance: Medical grade ABS maintains good impact resistance even at lower temperatures.


    ●Compliance with medical standards: Medical grade ABS typically complies with international medical device standards such as ISO 10993 and USP Class VI, ensuring that the material is safe and harmless to the human body.


    ●Sterilization Resistance: Able to withstand common medical sterilization methods such as alcohol wipes, steam sterilization and gamma irradiation.


    Dental equipment chooses medical grade ABS blister housings for their lightweight, drop and corrosion resistance, and low cost advantages. At present, dental cleaning machine, dental chair and oral scanner three types of equipment are most widely used.


    Application of ABS

    1. Dental cleaning machine: drop resistance and durability, maintenance costs significantly reduced

    A brand of scaler adopts ABS plastic absorbing shell, the drop resistance is increased by 3 times. Measurements show that the equipment from 1 meter high drop only a slight deformation, the internal components are intact. Traditional metal shell maintenance needs to replace the entire set of accessories, a substantial increase in costs, while the plastic shell only needs to be replaced locally, the cost is only one-third of the traditional program. Clinic feedback, three years after the use of the shell is still not cracked, maintenance costs significantly reduced.


    2. Dental chair: lightweight design to enhance the patient experience

    A high-end dental chair adopts ABS plastic absorbing shell, the weight is 40% less than the traditional metal shell, and the sense of pressure is significantly reduced when the patient lies down. The absorption molding process also supports seamless design, with a smooth and easy-to-clean surface and no residue from alcohol wiping. Clinic data show that patient complaints about the comfort of the equipment fell by nearly half.


    3. Oral scanner: flexible customization to adapt to multiple scenarios

    Portable oral scanner due to ABS plastic shell can be customized gradient color and non-slip texture, become a popular choice for children's dentistry. One manufacturer launched five cartoon pattern housings in six months to attract young parents. The blister molding process also allows for integrated heat sinks and card slots, reducing device failure rates by thirty percent.


    From the scaler's fall resistance to the comfort of the dental chair, ABS blister shell with high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and modular design, become the "golden shell" of dental equipment. The cost is only two-thirds of the traditional solution, but can achieve a longer service life and higher patient satisfaction.
