to the function of the moulded product, are monitored in the Da/Pro Rubber laboratory. Da/Pro has a complete in-house engineering department to assist with the mouldability of components. The company’s CAD/CAM capabilities guarantee effective precision tooling at competitive prices. To ensure product consistency, quality is monitored throughout each process, using a system based on ISO 9001 standards, an advanced statistical process control is used to monitor material properties and mixing, moulding operations and final product conformance to specification. The final proof of the success of these efforts is the part itself. To ensure quality, all parts are visually inspected to check that they conform to design criteria. In addition, leak and deflection testing for diaphragms and insulation testing for connector inserts may be specified. Whatever the customer’s moulding needs, Da/Pro has the expertise, experience and world-class service necessary to find a solution.

Dexter develops custom magnetic solutions and is ISO13485 certified.
Dexter Magnetic Technologies has over 20 years of experience working with medical device equipment manufacturers and life science companies. Dexter has developed customised solutions that meet the most stringent requirements. The
electromagnets and magnetic assemblies. Located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, Torrance, California and Freiburg, Germany, Dexter can provide support throughout the US and Europe. Dexter’s technology team engages its customers early in the design process. The company focuses on the customer’s requirements and adhere to a ‘stage-gate’ process to deliver manufacturable products that are controlled, reliable and repeatable. Backed by a robust quality system, state-of-the-art measurement and metrology equipment and supported by market specific quality engineers ensures Dexter’s solutions meet its customer’s standards. Magnetic medical devices require expert consideration of the selection of materials, biocompatible solutions, stray field management, controlled manufacturing processes, as well as high-quality and precision machining. To ensure the highest standards that exceed customer expectations, Dexter is ISO 13485 certified and has a class 10,000 cleanroom. As an expert in implantable solutions, Dexter understands the critical nature of biocompatible coatings. Dexter has developed its own process for coating NdFeB magnets with BarrierMax Parylene C, which provides superior performance. In medical applications, Parylene C is a transparent, pinhole-free, thin, conformal coating that provides ideal corrosion resistance and barrier properties. Dexter began developing the BarrierMax coating process in 2018 and tailored its formulation to

Custom-etched metal components
Fotofab works with more than 35 types of metal alloys.
Fotofab has delivered the highest-quality custom-etched metal components to the medical industry for more than 50 years. Its manufacturing technique of photochemically etching sheet metal uses acids to fabricate more precise components. With other techniques, like laser etching or metal- stamping, the fine lines needed in a microscreen or the delicate intricacies of implantable parts cannot be made to the tight tolerances and sheet thinness that Fotofab can provide. The company’s process of chemical metal-etching offers centre-to- centre tolerances within 0.0005ins, maintaining the metal’s full integrity. Fotofab’s portfolio includes a diverse product line of elaborately detailed pieces with complex geometries or simple parts like washers and shielding components. Some are quick-turn prototypes and others are standardised for large production runs year after year, such as: ■ RF shields ■ titanium implant parts ■ stainless steel surgical snares ■ gold-plated copper for ablation
The company’s process begins when a component drawing is submitted for a quote. Its dedicated team of technical engineers review the
request to guarantee metal type, capability and timing needed. Once dimensions are agreed upon and approved, the metal can be etched in a matter of hours. This results in consistent parts, on time and within budget. Along with photochemical etching, Fotofab offers an array of finishing services for the fabricated parts, including: ■ Thin metal forming ■ electropolishing ■ passivation ■ plating (standard and precious metals)
As a full-service provider, Fotofab works with more than 35 types of metal alloys, including titanium, stainless steel 300s and 400s, and Elgiloy. It is ISO 9001:2015-certified and RoHs compliant, committed to the quality of its products, and the satisfaction of its customers.

When contact is not an option
IntroPro monitors occlusion in soft tubing accurately and non-invasively.
Introtek’s IntroPro non-invasive occlusion free-entry detection devices accurately monitors tubing occlusion in soft tubing. When tubing within an application becomes blocked (occluded), the result is a change in pressure within the tube. These variations in tubing pressure are detected using a passive device output non- invasively with the free-entry IntroPro Occlusion Detector. This type of detection is considered critical in improving processes for various
