As the industry’s specialist in heat sealing applications, we collaborate with you to achieve consistent quality production using a precision roll-to-roll sealer with timed temperature application for multiple assemblies.
Ideal for biomedical and wearable medical device applications, our thermal press technology will ensure precision in device production focused on improving patient care and quality of life.
Innovations In Medical Wearable Devices
Advancements in wearable medical and technology devices have led to a rapidly growing number of FDA-compliant fabrics and adhesives used to attach these devices to the patient’s skin. Alongside these technological advancements, there has been an expansion in the use cases for these patch-based devices, including:
- Insulin Pumps
- Drug Delivery Systems
- Medical Monitors
- Other Wearable Technologies
TPI Roll Feed System for Thermal Patch Sealing
The Thermal Press International precision roll-to-roll sealer uses a hot sealing application for adhering thermal patches to biomedical and wearable medical devices. Here are the three types of patches used in these devices:
IontoPatch
The IontoPatch uses iontophoresis technology, which involves low electric currents to deliver prescription medication through the skin, sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and the underlying tissue. Physical therapists have been using iontophoresis technology for over two decades. Recently, it has gained momentum over the last few years because it is non-invasive. However, it’s gained momentum due to its non-invasive nature and fewer side effects compared to traditional treatments. These patches also support tailored treatment plans.
MacroPerm
The MacroPerm patch enables the delivery of molecules previously too large for adequate transdermal delivery. It transports Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) up to 25,000 daltons, paving the way for new transdermal patch drugs that can help patients worldwide.
MicroDerm
The MicroDerm patch incorporates microneedle technology to deliver a broad range of medications to patients. Its tiny microneedles penetrate the skin just enough to allow the medicine to enter the bloodstream, providing a pain-free and safe alternative to needles or shots.
