Medical Design & Manufacturing East 2003 will take place June 2-4 at the Javitz Convention Center in
New York City (www.mdmeast.com). Pavilions include Contract Manufacturing; Plastics/Disposables; Medical Electronics; Assembly, Manufacturing and CNC Equipment; Automation Technology; Packaging, Sterlization and Cleanroom Equipment; Raw Materials; and Quality. The show is co-located with Atlantic Design & Manufacturing, EastPack and IngredientsExpo. Come visit Designfax at Booth 3026. Here are a few previews of other companies displaying their wares at the show:
Coils & wires,Booth 2760
This company offers guidewire and catheter coils, drive cables with high torsional stiffness, and pacing and defibrillator lead coils. Services include clean-cut coil ends, pre-coated wire, joining, assembly, laser welding and soldering. Their engineers will assist product design and development, and rapid prototyping manufactured on rededicated production equipment.
The Raumedic range of PVC, DEHP-free formulations and PVC alternate materials (e.g. polyurethane, EVA and silicone) can be customized to suit the application. The company offers a variety of medical-grade tubing, including multi-lumen, lay-flat and microbore. Drug- and light-sensitive applications can be accommodated with custom materials.
This manufacturer produces thermoform-fill-seal rollstock packaging and vacuum chamber systems. Featured at the show will be their R230 rollstock, T200 traysealer and C500 vacuum chamber system. Packaging can be designed to facilitate opening, maintain sterility, safety and product visibility, and enhance the presentation of the product and labeling.
This company produces metering, mixing and dispensing equipment for multi-part fluids. Their new catalog includes piston and gear pumps as well as stepping motor drives for applications requiring precise control. Machines are available for small shots of 0.002 cc using mechanical dispensing directly from a twin-pack cartridge up to a continuous flow up to 250 liters in RIM applications.
This company has recently upgraded its silicone molding and extruding capabilities. Services include manufacturing single- and multi-lumen tubing (up to 28 lumens); balloon cuff, coextruded and reinforced tubing from 0.007- through 1.5-in ID; ribbon; and other profiles. Durometers range from 20 to 80 Shore A and metallic, non-metallic, non-stretch wire and fiber reinforcement is available.
This company’s synergistic electron beam irradiation process combines medical device sterilization with performance enhancing cross-linking. Benefits include improved wear resistance, tensile strength, corrosion resistance, thermal resistance, barrier properties and impact resistance of polymeric medical products. Sterilization is achieved without degrading the product or packaging.
Featured products at this show will include Versaline 500 In-line heaters, Stretch-to-Length flexible heaters, Series F4, SD and PD controllers, Din-A-Mite Power controllers, Microcoil sensors and Enviroseal RTD sensors. All products are designed to meet various temperature controlling requirements while considering a variety of space constraint, environmental safety and cost factors.
The size 34 non-captive linear actuator joins this company’s hybrid motor line (including sizes 14, 17 and 23). Built to last for several million cycles, this actuator features quiet, maintenance free operation, resolutions ranging from 0.0005 to 0.005 in./step, and thrust up to 500 lbs. Speeds exceed 3 in./sec. The non-captive design is suited for long linear travel requirements, precise positioning and rapid motion.
This company has introduced a full line of adhesives formulated to bond cannulae to hubs in needle assemblies. All products bond and seal the joint to prevent leakage of blood or medicine. Light cure acrylics, light cure cyanoacrylates and one-part heat cure epoxies comprise the line, and all products have high needle pull strengths and fast cure times. High fluorescence facilitates automated in-line inspection.
The Sealing Solutions for Medical and Healthcare Applications catalog is available online (directly through the link below) and describes the company’s lines of extruded and precision-cut washers, discs, sleeves and custom profiles; extruded cord tubing and special profiles; and spliced/fabricated rings and gaskets. They are made from a range of USP Class VI and FDA “White Listed” elastomeric materials.
This company’s selector guide (also available online through the link below) features a 2-page table describing their lines medical-grade adhesives. Information includes cure methods, special features, appropriate applications, biocompatibility and other standard properties. Services include dispensing equipment recommendations, spot curing lamps, automated assembly integration and conveyor curing systems.
This provider of acrylic-based molding and extrusion compounds is featuring Cyrolite Med 2 acrylic-based multipolymer compound with an increased level of alcohol and lipid resistance. It exhibits good impact resistance and ductility, improved clarity over the 1st generation product, and retention of properties under gamma irradiation and ethylene oxide sterilization.
The 400FD/A pump will be on display, offering an alternative to syringe pumps for dispensing and collecting samples and reagents. These pumps offer continuous flow capability and simple, valveless plumbing. At a fraction of the size of syringe pumps, these units can save valuable space. Tight dimensional tolerances maintain accuracy over thousands of operation hours.
This company’s docking station connectors offer high mating cycles (up to 100,000), immunity to shock and vibration, high current carrying capacity (up to 4A/contact for 0.6mm contacts), low insertion and extraction forces (0.3 to 2 oz) and high temperature ratings (-55° to 125°C). Contacts are recessed within the insulator to prevent damage to pins or sockets. Hypertac connection prevents mating damage.
Sil-Kore fluoropolymer silicone composite tubing optimizes the benefits of PTFE and silicone. The tubing is highly flexible, autoclavable and cold soakable. A weight saving of 30 to 50% over conventional silicone can be achieved. Sizes range between 0.4 to 14 mm. Applications include endoscopy, illumination and custom medical uses. Surface feel is silky.
