Assembly of medical fabrics, films and textiles including medical device projects under ISO EN13485:2016, with projects including such devices as physiotherapy and compression wraps, wearable device belts, blood pressure cuffs, etc.
Our Herefordshire plant is one of the few RF welding companies in the UK accredited for medical device assembly. Complex products have been produced using precision fabric assembly techniques allied to RF welding, sewing, precision cutting, punching, multi-layer assembly and forming. A wide range of materials can be assembled using semi-automated sewing machines and RF welding stations, with capacity extending from 1,200 by 900m m to 220 by 60mm, with power outputs of between 3 and 15 kW. This allows polyesters, PVC, polyurethane, flame bonded laminates and films to be assembled, sewn and/or welded into complex sets to our customer's specification.
Radio frequency welding provides a reliable and consistent sealing method with high inherent levels of cleanliness and biological compatibility, and is a flexible technique. It can be used as a single process or in conjunction with gluing or sewing to provide high integrity products for a number of applications, extending from inflatable mattress components to complete products to aid vascular specialists and other clinicians with complex treatments. All components and sub-assemblies can be branded using precision screen printing,. Full packaging and labelling/bar coding can also be provided.
