Die-cutting is an essential part of medical device manufacturing and converting to create custom-shaped flexible medical-grade materials. Avery Dennison Medical uses advanced specialized machines and tools to convert raw material into finished custom shapes and designs.

When rolls of tape are larger than the desired size, our slitting machines can cut them down to smaller sizes. This can be completed pre-operation, or with a finished roll.

We have the capability in-house to place a material in a precise location of an adhesive, a process required for some product designs, e.g. foam island placement.

With RF welding, or high frequency welding, our machines can fuse materials together by applying radio frequency energy to the areas to be joined. This type of welding is very cost-efficient and delivers a high level of consistency, helping to ensure that medical products and packaging are safe, efficient, and reliable.

Lamination is the technique of manufacturing a material in multiple layers and is utilized primarily when combining a foam to another material. The heat melts the surface of the foam, turning it into a tacky substance that essentially acts as an adhesive.

Silicone rolled goods can require perforation to allow the passage of moisture and exudate from the skin or wound into the device. Our mechanical perforation system can create regular 3-10 mm perforations, in a uniform coverage or with a specific brand or pattern. Ultrasonic perforation is used when smaller than 3 mm holes are needed in a material. Our silicone rolls can be produced with 1.6 mm ultrasonic perforations.

We have a wide range of solutions available for sachets, tubes, and bottles, which we can customize according to specific user requirements. Avery Dennison Medical has an in-house tube and sachet filling capability for advanced skin care liquids, such as hydrogel, peristomal paste, skin cleanser, skin barrier films and creams, and skin moisturizer products.
