Medical Applications: Ultrasonic Welding and Heat Staking

Surgical & Laparoscopic Devices

Surgical & Laparoscopic Devices

Ultrasonic Welding:

  • Assembles plastic housings for electrosurgical pencils and surgical robot components
  • Creates strong, hermetic seals for flexible scopes
  • Joins plastic components in trocars and surgical staplers

Heat Staking:

  • Secures metal components into plastic handles of surgical instruments
  • Attaches display screens to laparoscopic device housings

Filters & Test Kits

Filters & Test Kits

Ultrasonic Welding:

  • Seals filter media into plastic housings for IV line and dialysis filters
  • Bonds multiple layers in diagnostic test strips
  • Creates liquid-tight seals in sample collection swabs and test packages

Heat Staking:

  • Attaches filter membranes to plastic frames in test kits
  • Secures components in multi-part diagnostic devices

Garments, Fabrics & Prosthetics

Garments, Fabrics & Prosthetics

Ultrasonic Welding:

  • "Stitches" medical-grade nonwoven fabrics for masks, gowns, and drapes
  • Creates strong seams in high-performance filtering respirators
  • Bonds layers in absorbent personal hygiene products

Heat Staking:

  • Attaches straps or adjustment mechanisms to prosthetics
  • Secures reinforcement components in fabric-based medical products

Valves, Vessels & Tubes

Valves, Vessels & Tubes

Ultrasonic Welding:

  • Creates contamination-free seals in IV fluid and medication bags
  • Joins components in infusion kits and syringe filters
  • Bonds ports and tube connections with high precision
  • Seals cardiopulmonary bypass lines

Heat Staking:

  • Attaches valve components to plastic housings
  • Secures tubing connectors to rigid plastic components

Tray & Pouch Sealing

Tray & Pouch Sealing

Ultrasonic Welding:
