In the production of a micro water jet device for medical wound cleaning, two POM-H components are assembled, which later must withstand pressures up to 400 bar. Laser plastic welding proves to be a high-quality and reliable joining technology for such challenging conditions.

A Polish pharmaceutical company is developing inhalation therapy for the treatment of lung disease and the appropriate drug delivery drug. The inhaler has a complex interior and consists of 14 components. In order to be able to produce these with the required precision, Celon Pharma has formed a partnership with the mold making company Glittenberg and its hot runner sister Witosa.

For its complex functional mechanism, the inhaler requires 14 components

ENGEL, headquartered in Schwertberg, Austria, is one of the globally leading companies in plastics processing machines. From individual injection moulding machines to integrated and automated production cells, ENGEL offers customised solutions for thermoplastic, thermoset and elastomer processing from a single source. ENGEL injection moulding solutions are used, for example, to manufacture automotive components, housings and other parts for electrical and electronic products, household goods, toys and leisure articles, packaging, and products for medical technology and health care. ENGEL‘s leading market position is founded on two cornerstones: on the one hand, high-technology business that initiates permanent further development and on the other hand, large-scale production to make our cost-intensive development work financially affordable. With nine production plants in Europe, North America and Asia, as well as subsidiaries and representatives in more than 85 countries, ENGEL has a global presence. From its foundation in 1945 to the present day, ENGEL has always been 100 percent family-owned.

Invest in a New Production Line for Meltblown Nonwoven

The aim of the Medical Device Regulation is to further increase the safety of medical devices. With it, many products will be subject to a higher classification with considerably strengthened requirements in order to achieve CE conformity. Especially for small and medium-sized companies, it is a challenge to provide the required information for all components in the medical device.

Production in a cleanroom: in Stein am Rhein in Switzerland, Trelleborg can produce and pack in cleanrooms of class 7 and 8 according to ISO 14644–1 (class 10,000 and class 100,000 according to US FED 209D)

Housings not only protect the inner workings of medical equipment, but also protect patients from electric shocks, for example. This function is very important for the increasingly widespread medical wearables, which are often in constant contact with the patient. When designing such devices, it is therefore important to select the appropriate housing material.

Housings play an important role in medical wearables. They protect their inner workings, but at the same time protect the users of the devices

In no other field the possibilities and advantages of 3D printing are more pronounced than for medical devices. With the right high-performance materials, complex patient-customized implants can be produced that medical doctors are using to push the boundaries of the possible – for the benefit of patients.

Arburg Plastic Freeforming is predestined for the additive manufacturing of medtech components. The associated Freeformer-type additive manufacturing systems process the same plastic pellets that are used in injection molding. That makes the open systems very economical to use.

In the AKF process, resorbable original materials such a plate-implants similar to bone, can be manufactured. They are gradually replaced by endogenous tissue
