this company's information |
Dielectrics designs, develops, and fabricates thermoplastic medical device components and products. We specialize in flexible film and laminate welding using RF, impulse, thermal, and ultrasonic processes. In addition, auxiliary infrastructure includes forming, molding, bonding, laminating, printing, packaging, assembly, and cut-and-sew.
There three business units: R&D, US manufacturing, and Asian manufacturing. They are structured to accommodate the various phases of the product life-cycle from conception through commoditization. This includes ample and dedicated prototyping laboratories and pilot production facilities. All of the tooling and most of the equipment are designed in house.
We make numerous Class I and II devices in an ISO 13485 and 9001 certified facility. This includes Class 10,000 and 100,000 cleanrooms, prototype laboratories, and a pilot production area. Many of the products are subjected to stringent quality system controls such as PFMEA and DV/OQ/PQ series validations.
Dielectrics is known for its growing IP portfolio, as well as its ability to develop new features, processes, materials, and products for its customers under contract. We have enjoyed many long-term relationships with both top-50 medical device companies, as well as VC-funded start-ups. The best known products are those that pressurize, contain, channel, filter, distribute, or protect some type of fluid (gas, liquid, gels). Subspecialties include thin-film welding, latex-alternative balloons, and other air, gel, and fluid bladder technology.
Thermoplastics Welding is the process by which an energy source is used to permanently bond multiple plastic materials together. This is different from other processes such as bonding (gluing), in that the desired result is a hermetic, cohesive bond between the polymers, not an adhesive bond. This type of welding can only occur between materials that can be melted (as opposed to burnt), hence only thermoplastics.
RF Welding
RF is also known as "dielectric" sealing and uses high frequency radio energy to produce molecular agitation in thermoplastic materials (ie:, polyurethane or pvc) to the point where they literally melt and weld together, typically forming a bond that is as strong as the original material.
