Medical devices: safe and reliable plastic components

Wide ranging differentiation in the equipment used by the many medical specialisations sets high requirements for the process of designing medical devices. Integration of design, function and load resistance demands considerable knowledge of materials, international regulations and design reliability.

The medical and analytical device construction market is highly differentiated and continuously developing. The need for specialised knowledge of materials and the diversity of regulations place high demands and preconditions on engineering. Safety and reliability have always been the key words in this market. Patient friendliness and home care also play a vital role, making ease of operation, styling and finish of the product increasingly important.

Applications
Technical, functional and design elements such as housings are generally made of plastic because this often simplifies the integration of design and function. Surface requirements, including scratch resistance, cleanability (including with chemicals) and wear resistance, in addition to the demanding visual quality requirements, are important preconditions.

Design knowledge
Virtually since the company's founding in 1983, knowledge and experience have been accumulated in the development, engineering, production and assembly of components for the construction of medical and analytical equipment. Structured project management and extensive knowledge and experience of CAD analysis and engineering plastics ensure optimal integration of design, function and manufacturability.

Pekago:Innovation with plastic
