Patient care

Utilizing a combination of medical-grade adhesives and materials for the transformation and production of economical consumer healthcare goods.

Overview

Converting for the consumer healthcare market

We possess an understanding of addressing skin-related issues through a device, thereby factoring in aspects like design and manufacturing. These considerations encompass compatibility, repositioning ability, breathability, adaptability, and durability, among others.

 

With our advanced cleanroom facilities and production expertise, we are equipped to transform adhesives, tapes, films, foils, hydrogels, hydrocolloid, and other materials suitable for sensitive skin. PolarSeal is capable of collaborating in the development of consumer wound care products, offering support in the selection of materials and adhesives, customized formulation, prototyping, contract manufacturing, and testing.

Roll-to-roll converting is a highly efficient and automated process for the conversion of flexible materials like paper, film, and foil. This method involves the continuous unwinding of a large roll of material, which then undergoes various operations such as printing, coating, laminating, cutting, and slitting, before being rewound into smaller rolls of the desired width or length.

Roll-to-roll converting offers several key benefits that make it a preferred method in various industries. Some of these advantages include:

  1. Efficiency: The continuous process allows for high-speed production with minimal downtime, maximizing output and reducing manufacturing costs.
  2. Precision: Roll-to-roll converting ensures consistent and accurate results, maintaining product quality and meeting specific dimensional requirements.
  3. Customization: The method allows for easy integration of various operations such as printing, coating, and laminating, enabling the customization of products to meet specific needs and preferences.
  4. Reduced Waste: By minimizing material waste during the converting process, roll-to-roll operations contribute to cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability.
  5. Scalability: The technique is easily scalable, making it suitable for both small-scale and large-scale production, providing flexibility for businesses to adjust production volumes as needed.

PolarSeal possesses the capacity to fulfill various demands in the healthcare sector, catering to a broad spectrum of applications. Our expertise enables us to offer cost-effective solutions tailored to your specific product requirements. The consumer demand for personal care products spans a wide array, including:
