Motion control and counterbalancing through precision spring products
customers’ most exacting requirements are met. The engineering group consists of skilled professionals with broad experience in the design and development of all types of springs. The group is backed by an unusually high level of expertise – due to having more than 160 years in business in total – and the latest in spring manufacturing equipment. The company provides three different types of spring: ■ Constant-force springs provide a smooth range of motion and a constant load in the extending or retracting direction. This spring design has no inertia to overcome when considering the initial- position starting forces. Constant-force springs are compact and mount easily to existing hardware.

■ Spiral torsion springs allow rotation in two directions and a ‘return to centre’ capability. Spiral torsion springs are normally used in applications requiring less than 360° rotation. They are generally used to obtain a large amount of torque with a small amount of rotation.
■ Spring-powered reels – arbor and base-mounted – are available with a wide range of force, cable lengths and travel. The spring- powered reels mount easily, come with pre-installed cables and attach quickly. John Evans’ Sons is eager to discuss the design requirements and spring challenges in clients’ various design and prototype phases. Many choices of springs and reels are stock items that can be shipped quickly to assist with product evaluations.

Klockner Pentaplast provides a wide range of medical device packaging films
With KP’s medical device packaging films, product safety is guaranteed.
Medical device packaging plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of medical devices. It is essential that they are packaged properly to protect them from damage during shipping and storage, to prevent contamination, and to maintain their sterility until they are ready to be used. One of the key components of this is the packaging film which KP specialises in, and which serves as the primary barrier to protect the device from external elements. KP’s packaging films are designed to provide a range of protective properties, including barrier properties, puncture resistance and sealing capabilities. These are critical for maintaining the sterility and integrity of the medical device throughout its shelf life. They are typically made from a variety of materials, such as polypropylene, polyester, polystyrene and vinyl, which are chosen based on the specific requirements of the medical device.
Barrier properties are one of the most important characteristics of medical device packaging films. They prevent oxygen, moisture and other contaminants from entering the package and potentially compromising the safety and efficacy of the device. With KP films, barrier properties can be achieved through the use of multilayer films or by adding coatings. The level of barrier
protection required will depend on the type of medical device being packaged and its sensitivity to external factors. Another important characteristic of KP’s packaging film is puncture resistance. The film must be strong enough to withstand the rigours of shipping and handling without tearing or puncturing, which could compromise sterility. Sealing capabilities are also important, as the package must be hermetically sealed to prevent contaminants. In addition to protecting the medical device, packaging films also play a critical role in providing information to the end user. The package may contain important instructions for use, warnings and other critical information that must be clearly visible and legible. The packaging film must be able to accept printing and labelling without smudging or fading, and it must be easy to read and understand. Overall, KP’s Pentamed medical device packaging film is a critical component of the packaging system. It provides a barrier to protect from external factors, helps maintain sterility and integrity, and provides important information to the end user. The selection of the appropriate packaging film is a critical step in ensuring the safety and efficacy of medical devices, and manufacturers must carefully consider their specific requirements when selecting a packaging film. KP has experienced experts ready to assist you in this selection process should additional help be needed.
