Medical Device Example - Absorbent / Adsorbent Pouch

The Brief
To design, develop and manufacture an absorbent pouch with an adsorbent activated carbon cloth inserted to render an opioid immobile when primed into the pouch. 
Design a product to meet this criteria
  • Needed to absorb 4ml of liquid
  • Needed to adsorb up to 4 priming pumps from the dispenser
  • Produce to exacting tolerance of +/- 0.2mm
  • The pouch required a sealed closure
Solution
  • Identified a combination of Film, Absorbent & Adsorbent Activated Carbon Cloth
  • Developed a unique combination of laminating the materials together without losing performance
  • Designed and built a complete new multi servo machine to cut, fold, register-to-print, laminate and apply tape to the pouch.
  • In-line Vision system to monitor tolerances to +/- 0.2mm
  • 1,000,000 pouches produced - No quality complaints.

As long ago as 1991, Ian Beardsall developed and manufactured the machinery to produce an absorbent insert for a pregnancy testing device. The absorbent material was expensive and this was a price sensitive component. It was essential to achieve a target price to make the pregnancy tester price viable in the market.

The product was a challenge at the time due to the tight tolerances (+/- 0.2mm) To achieve this, most products of this nature would be die-cut from a board which of course incurs a significant amount of wastage and requires expensive tooling.

Ian found a way to ensure the product would remain in tolerance but utilised 96% of the material without being die-cut.This had a significant effect on the production cost and the price target was met.

We went on to produce over 30 million parts !
