In this multi-part STIWA machine group, long dwell venous catheters are assembled, checked and packaged. This medical device is used in long-term drug treatment and for blood collection.
The individual components are fed using 9 feeders. The needle, thin plastic tube, and rubber part are provided with particular care. The handle and the needle are bonded together using UV adhesive and cured with a UV lamp. The two assembled groups are joined together, and additional parts are assembled before the finished product is transported to the packaging machine.
NUMEROUS TEST PROCESSES FOR PRODUCT SAFETY
The bond strength plastic hose tube housing is tested, as is the pull-out force of the cannula. In addition, the cannula is checked with vision to precisely measure the diameter, the height position of the ground edge relative to the cannula base, and the angle position.
