Relyon plasma from Regensburg, a subsidiary of TDK Electronics, presented plasma devices that support the manufacture of medical devices at Medical Technology Ireland from September 25-26, 2024.
In addition to the PiezoBrush series for classic surface treatment in production, the MediPlas components for sterilization and disinfection were on display. The high-performance ozone generator based on MediPlas components for integration into medical devices was also presented. Bonding in particular poses a challenge in medical production, as materials, adhesives or primers have been adapted from the formulation or withdrawn from the market due to a large number of regulations. As a result, previously stable bonding processes no longer function optimally. This is where surface treatment with cold atmospheric pressure plasma provides a remedy by optimally preparing the surfaces to be bonded. The PiezoBrush PZ3 handheld device with various process modes, which enable reproducible parameter sets to be determined, is suitable for testing whether cold plasma provides the desired process improvement for a specific application. The leap into automated series production is possible with the PiezoBrush PZ3-i.
