Validating heat sealers, dye penetration and burst tests, the consequences of designing packaging late in the product design process, and sterilization issues are among the topics that Jacob Kearns has answered in the past year on his "Medical Device Blog." Kearns is an engineer for a medical device company. Differing points of view may be shared on this blog.
* Magnum-MD automatically forms and seals Tyvek, polyester, polyethylene, metallized and other barrier films including HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PP, and nylon with a chevron seal
* specifically designed for medical and pharmaceutical applications, it uses continuous rollstock; creates bag perf and chevron seal in-line to lock out particles in the form/fill/seal process
* P-Series multiuse sealer is engineered for medical pouches and precision sealing applications allowing for both front-to-back and pass-through capabilities
* allows placement of seal at any depth on a pouch
* well-suited for header bags requiring a secondary seal below the header after sterilization
• uses high-frequency ultrasound vibration and force, generating frictional heat to create leak-proof seals in flexible pouches made on pouch filling/sealing machines
• provides high-production yields and improved machine efficiency through reduced downtime, faster cycles, and fewer rejects
