Case Study
MPC partnered with a global OEM in the medical imaging industry to resolve a critical reliability issue with their equipment casters, which were experiencing flat spotting and causing downtime, customer complaints, and lost sales. By reverse-engineering the design and identifying low compression set as the root cause, MPC’s R&D team introduced a custom Durethane® S polyurethane caster, delivering prototypes that eliminated flat spotting, extended product life, and met lifecycle requirements. The solution not only improved equipment reliability but also helped the OEM recover customer confidence, protect revenue streams, and demonstrate the value of MPC’s innovative polyurethane engineering in medical device applications.
