Elastomer ensures smooth operation
Endoscopic surgical instrument insertion and retraction through a seal must feel smooth and easy. The more the material “grabs” and adheres to the shaft of the instrument, the more force it will take to manipulate the instrument (not something you want to experience even if you are under anesthesia). A new process, known as F-treat,…

Sensor Ensures Proper Package Sealing
When sealing packages, the standard practice is to measure temperature, time output, and air pressure input. But not force (lb-F) output. This practice can be a cause for concern because under or over-pressure during the sealing process can affect the look and function of the packaging. Atlas Vac addressed this issue with its patented Force…
