Today's changing markets are spawning new and exciting technologies. Plasco is constantly developing innovative manufacturing methods to take advantage of these new technologies, materials and markets. Once the design has been finalized the project moves into our Machine Shop and the prototype phase for refinement and then on to production, packaging and sterilization. Our bag manufacturing process starts with the conversion of medical grade resin to either lay flat tubing or sheet film. In addition tubing is also extruded and cut to length to meet the products requirements.
Further processing includes printing on the film using a silk screening or hot stamping technique.
Film or lay flat tubing is radio frequency welded to form bag. Any required components for assembly are either ultrasonic welded or solvent bonded to complete the product. The product is assembled, packaged and ETO sterilized where required. All phases are under the watchful eyes of our quality assurance department who constantly monitors the manufacturing operation starting with incoming raw material inspection and progressing through work in process to finished product. Lay Flat tubing produces a bag without side seams, eliminating potential seam failure in these areas.
