Latest medical tubing to appear at MD&M East

Davis-Standard will highlight the company’s latest medical tubing capabilities at booth #567 during MD&M East in New York City on June 14-16

The company will promote its new Medical Direct Drive Extruder (MEDD Extruder) for tight tolerance tubing as well as its medical tubing lab line and dedicated cleanroom located in its Technical Center in Pawcatuck, Conn.

The MEDD offers processors greater materials flexibility in a compact design and  features a replaceable feed section liner, interchangeable barrel assembly and a Windows based HMI and PLC control system, according to Davis-Standard.

The company said it has already sold several MEDD extruders to various medical tubing manufacturers and the machine has been very well received.

The medical tubing lab line in the Pawcatuck facility includes two MEDD extruders and associated downstream equipment located in a climate-controlled “clean room” environment.

Customers are able to test new resins, make parts for proof-of-concept, and conduct downstream R&D prior to making large capital equipment investments, according to Davis-Standard.

The line also incorporates the company’s patented Alternate Polymer technology with all components monitored and controlled by the EPIC III control system.
