Trelleborg Presents its Focus on Healthcare & Medical

ANAHEIM, Calif., Jan. 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At MD&M West, Trelleborg’s healthcare & medical operation will exhibit advanced polymer solutions for healthcare and medical applications. From February 11 to 13, in Hall D at Booth 2601, Trelleborg will demonstrate how it helps pharmaceutical and medical device​ companies improve patient quality of life by forming lasting partnerships with customers to develop innovative, reliable engineered polymer solutions for demanding medical, biotech and pharmaceutical applications.

For more than 20 years, Trelleborg has developed and supplied silicone tubing, film and custom-molded components, as well as elastomer and polymer seals, to manufacturers for their biotech and pharmaceutical equipment, and medical devices. Trelleborg’s healthcare & medical operation brings together all its global sales, development, design and manufacturing facilities to better meet its customers’ needs.

Linda Muroski, Global President, Trelleborg’s healthcare & medical operation, says, "We are focusing our global expertise in healthcare and medical to provide our customers the industry-specific solutions they require. Creating a healthcare & medical operation strengthens our ability to respond even faster to customers’ requests, whether they be for new innovations, expanded capabilities or potential geographical expansion.

“We partner with customers from the initial design phase through prototyping and commercialization, utilizing our engineering and material expertise and global portfolio of manufacturing capabilities to meet customer needs at every stage of development. This accelerates time to market for new medical devices. And to ensure those medical devices and services meet customer and regulatory requirements, all of our healthcare and medical facilities conform to ISO 13485-2016.

“Trelleborg manufacturing facilities specialize in producing custom silicone and thermoplastic components, including micro-molded parts, parts with complex geometries and multi-component parts. Our in-house tool rooms develop high precision Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) tooling combined with advanced automation technologies to support production volumes ranging from prototype to high-volume serial production.”

At MD&M West, Trelleborg will showcase its medical silicone tubes for long-term implants. Due to their biocompatibility and physical resistance, they play an important role in medical applications, both as conduits to transport liquid and as insulators for cables and sensors. The products must meet high-precision control and process stability demands, and also be implantable for up to several years. All long-term implantable silicone products are processed in cleanroom environments.
