AUTOTYPE FILMS ARE FIRST CHOICE FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS
17 April 2000 - Autotype International
| Hospital equipment used in intensive care needs to be completely reliable, sturdy and resistant to the most aggressive cleaning and chemical agents around. |
These features are particularly important in infusion pumps used to administer metered doses of drugs to severely ill patients. Autotype’s hard-coated polyester films can fulfil the stringent criteria demanded by these applications. Circuit layers for the pumps can be printed on Autotype Autostat, a heat stabilised polyester film. Heat stabilisation allows the membrane touch screen manufacturer to cure conductive inks at high temperatures without affecting registration or the lay-flat characteristics of the film. For the outer fascia, Autoflex EB would be a perfect choice. Autoflex is a hard-coated polyester film particularly suited for applications requiring high abrasion and chemical resistance, together with long flex life on embossed overlays. Its key features of excellent chemical and scratch resistance make it the ideal solution for this particular application. Where reliability is paramount, such as in medical applications, only the best is good enough, which is why many choose Autotype hard-coated polyester films.
