Carmo has devised a singular flip valve for urine-collection luggage and different drugs luggage that may be molded in a single piece, which will increase its power and sturdiness and ensures totally automated high-volume manufacturing in Denmark.
Molding the valve in a single piece means prices are stored low. As a result of there isn’t any have to mould a number of elements and assemble them, manufacturing time can also be lower considerably. Moreover, there are different advantages to producing the brand new valve in a single piece. Regular valves, that are produced in a number of elements, are held along with silicone to make sure density. Referred to as SuperValve, the one-piece valve minimizes the danger of leakages as a result of there aren’t any joints and there’s no want to make use of silicone, which is nonbiodegradable.
“We have now a product with a excessive degree of sturdiness and uniformity, which makes the valve safer and proof against leakage,” defined Anders Johnsen, growth and know-how director at Carmo, in a information launch. “It’s groundbreaking for the trade that we will now attain such a excessive degree of valve security. On the similar time, they meet the ISO 13485 [standard] and the MDR regulation and will probably be produced in medically licensed supplies to make sure that security and leak resistance is assured.”
SuperValve could be produced particularly for varied functions, in varied industries, the corporate stories. It has an outlet diameter of 5.9 mm, withstands strain of 0.15 bar, could be sterilized and keep performance, and is totally validated and prepared for scientific assessments. It may be delivered in biocompatible supplies, and PVC- and silicone free. Tube connections allows exterior adjustment for attaching a hose connection.
Carmo demonstrated SuperValve on the Compamed Honest in Düsseldorf, November 14-17, within the Danish Exports Pavilion.
