Radio Frequency (RF) Plastics Genesis Plastics Welding (Indianapolis, IN) specializes in radio frequency (RF) plastics welding of thermoplastic products and components for industries including medical. The proprietary heat sealing technology allows RF plastics welding of polyethylene, polypropylene, and many low-loss polymers in film, foam, and fabric layers as a replacement for PVC and polyurethane with “green” phthalate-free plastics. The company recently collaborated with REDpoint International to produce the StedLine™ IV Sleeve, a stabilizing device that eliminates the need for glue or tape to secure an intravenous line to skin.
Improving extruded components requires careful attention to a number of factors, including dimensional tolerance, material selection, and processing. Trelleborg’s Dan Sanchez provides detailed insights into each of these considerations to help you advance your device innovations while reducing costs and speeding time to market.
