One of the processes used to manufacture medical products is the Liquid Injection Molding (LIM)™ of Silicone. This is used to reduce flash to an acceptable level so that no additional labor is used. In addition, the LIM™ process offers a benefit to the  customer because it allows an acceptable low piece price.
