Choose the Best Plastic Welding Method for Your Medtech Application

Joining plastics in medical applications is a difficult and delicate process. Many adhesives are neither FDA-approved nor biocompatible, and most plastics used for medtech products are already tough to bond. Plastic welding can offer greater consistency, hermeticity, and reliability. How can medtech manufacturers successfully switch from adhesive bonding to plastic welding? What requirements, processes, and design […]

THE EWI GUIDE TO PLASTIC WELDING FOR THE MEDTECH INDUSTRY

Plastic welding medtech

Successful plastic joining in manufacturing is a challenging issue. For applications in medtech, it becomes even more critical. Finding an FDA-approved adhesive that also bonds to low-surface-energy polymers commonly used in medical applications leaves manufacturers with few options. That is, until they look beyond adhesives. When it comes to production, welding offers greater consistency, stronger […]
