a few hours. Parts with complex
geometries, including small, filigreed
components such as connectors,
are produced from polyamide or
polystyrene. Building in material
layers typically 0.004 in. thick, the
machine has a fine focus diameter
that enables parts to have walls as
thin as 0.016 in. The process is user-friendly, requires few accessories or
setup requirements, and consumes
relatively little energy. Easily
integrated into a manufacturing
environment, the laser-sintering
system supports production
flexibility.

Unit-Dose Packaging
Specializing in microdose packaging,
a company provides short-run
private-label drug and medical
supplies packaging of bulk materials
in all viscosities. It designs and
manufactures applicators, syringes,
and unit-dose packaging, and
offers contract capabilities in the
proprietary filling of challenging
materials, including single- and
dual-component chemistries.
With processes certified to ISO
9001:2000 and ISO 13485:2003
guidelines, the company offers three
collet activated by adjustable air
pressure. Data are available in real
time in numerical and graphical
form on the display and may be
downloaded and exported.

Heat-Sealer
An impulse-type heat-sealer with
remote seal head is designed to
give medical device packagers the
flexibility to arrange a package
sealing station such that space
utilization, process control,
and productivity are optimized.
Engineered to neutralize the space
constraints of heat-sealing pouches
in applications involving a laminar-flow hood, the cleanroom-friendly
Model 830 validatable heat-sealer
is a virtual custom system in that
it lets the user place the separate
control cabinet, seal head, and LCD
touch screen wherever each will best
serve process requirements. The seal
core technologies: a patented delivery
method that allows for precise 0.2- to
0.5-ml dosing of single-component
bulk materials, a patented unit-dose package that provides a single
well for 0.2 to 0.5 ml of a single-component liquid or gel along with
a single applicator, and a delivery
method that allows for precise dosing
of all dual-component materials
in a dispensed net volume of 0.5
ml. Manufacturing capabilities run
from product inception through final
production, packaging, and shipping,
including in-house R&D, testing, and
prototyping.

Balloon Inspection and
Measurement System
An inspection instrument is specially
developed for measuring difficult
products such as balloons, silicone
tubing, and other cylindrical objects
for which accurate and repeatable
measurements are required. It allows
the user to measure wall thickness,
inner and outside diameter, ovality,
concentricity, coating thickness, and
other parameters. The Rotational
Linear Scanning System measures
catheter balloons by inflating and

rotating them so that thickness
variations across the entire balloon
can be determined; in addition, a
linear stage facilitates scanning along
the device’s length. An articulated
second probe, optionally available,
can be used to measure cone areas
and identify anomalies. A balloon of
any size and shape can be measured
and mapped via an intuitive software
interface. Tubing is held for inspection
