Medical devices from flexible materials We have class 100,000 and class 10,000 clean room and we can achive higher levels of cleanliness if needed. We have a dry room capable of maintianing %20 RH or better: Our clean room contains three types of machines: -Steel rule die cutting for prototypes, short runs and large pieces. -Single-module rotary die cutting for simple lamination and die cutting -Multi-module rotary converting press for combining multiple layers and processes. These processes include island placement and in-line packaging. We can print in line on the package. In line packaging means that as soon as the part is cut, it is transferred onto the packaging material, sandwiched between the top and bottom layers which will form the package before the package is bonded with heat and pressure (only pressure for cold seal). The final step is to cut the perimeter of the package and to stack the part. This process occurs in a short distance without handling the parts, making it both economical and reduces the chances for contamination.
These presses feature 360 degree registration control which enables us to make selective cut-outs and timed lamination (island placement). We can often combine several steps to one pass for increased output and reduced scrap. We have extensive experience with adhesive laminates and hot melt adhesive applications. Examples of products that we have made with this technology are Endo-tracto tube holders, band-aide like products with a powerful adhesive for holding IVs to the patient's skin, tape with several types of adhesives to constrain patients during transportation, and foam padding with adhesive backing for patient protection. Heat bonding in a registered pattern is sometimes needed to seal pouches or bond materials where adhesives are difficult to apply or are incompatible with the use of the device. We can combine these processes in a single pass to make and pouch a product in a single pass, reducing scrap and minimizing the possibility of contaminating the product.
