What You Should Look For In A Medical Pouch Sealer


A Medical Pouch Sealer is basically a heat sealer that is used to package things together with the use of heat. A heat sealer joins at least two thermoplastic materials, plastics that become moldable after reaching a certain temperature. Due to its sophisticated process, the resulting packaging is highly stable and completely sealed. Some common applications of heat sealing are:-


  • Heat sealing is used when plastics are involved and welding cannot take place, for example, screens, monitors, etc.


  • Heat sealing is employed to join LCDs to PCBs in many consumer electronics and other engineering and medical equipment.


  • Plastic bags and other packaging material use heat sealing.


  • Medical applications include - laminate films to avoid contamination of medical equipment, filter sheets and media for blood, virus, etc, and medical bags.



Features of a Medical Pouch Sealer


 Seal Strength Testing of a Medical Pouch Sealer is done through several industry-standard tests:-


  • ASTM F88 & F24 - Testing of seal strength within flexible barriers.


  • ASTM F1140 & F2054 - Testing of packaging’s strength and precession.


  • ASTM D3078 - Vacuum Testing used to measure package integrity.


Different sealers may undergo different tests depending upon the type of use. Other useful feature to have in a pouch sealer:-


  • Visual Inspection - A technique that allows you to see the equipment or material under packaging without extracting it.


  • Calibration Check - A system that allows you to check the calibration of your device regularly.


  • Loading Tool - A tool that allows the loading of equipment with adequate spacing and with great efficiency.


The aforementioned points regarding testing and strength must be kept in mind before looking for a medical pouch sealer.
