Raumedic will be presenting its core competencies of medical extrusion, moulding and assembly at MD&M East on June 14-16 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York
Co-Extrusion
Multilayer tubing offers a modern, effective and practical solution for various medical applications. Such tubing offers a design solution for medical systems which require the use of inert material solutions for drug delivery applications or bondable outer tubing layers, according to Raumedic.
Raumedic said it has developed processing capabilities to co-extrude a wide variety of metal wires and glass fibers within the tubing walls and will be exhibiting some of these capabilities at the MD&M East event.
Tubing from PTFE Moldflon
Raumedic produces tubing extruded from PTFE Moldflon. This is a type of thermoplastic material that in contrast to regular PTFE can be processed from the melt.
The company said that this is highly advantageous for long continuous tubing production runs, allows for PTFE with co-extruded radiopaque stripes and for secondary operations, such as tipping and flaring, without commonly known side effects such as flaking and cracking.
Silicone Intelligence Inside
Liquid Injection Moulding (LIM) pump segments are very commonly used in enteral nutrition or pain management applications, according to Raumedic.
High dosage accuracy represents an important criterion for today´s medical devices which is why Raumedic said that pump segments made out of silicone must fulfill tightest tolerances.
Silicone Intelligence Inside integrates several functions or design requirements such as connectors, fixing elements as well as pressure sensors and bubble detection areas in one single part, avoiding costly secondary operations.
Silicone Intelligence Inside will be on display at MD&M East at Raumedic’s booth, #1902.
