Medical Manufacturing Technologies (MMT) is showcasing a diverse array of its technologies at CompaMed this week, including automated balloon pleating and folding, thermal bonding, catheter hole drilling and RF tipping, automated tube cutting, and medical needle point grinding.
A standout in the lineup is the MPT Automated Balloon Pleating and Folding Machine (PTF), which uses a servo-controlled fold head equipped with stainless steel blades coated in a high-wear-resistant, low-friction material. This coating ensures flawless pleating and folding of medical balloons, significantly improving accuracy and reliability, according to the company.
Another machine featured at the four-day show (Nov. 11-14) is the Tridex Point Grinding System. Integrating with Tridex Electrochemical Grinders (ECG), this system grinds various medical needle points burr-free including Menghini, trocar, Franseen, and other custom points. In addition, it can be used for conventional abrasive (non-ECG) grinding applications.
“This event is a significant platform for showcasing MMT’s ongoing commitment to innovation in med-device manufacturing,” MMT CEO Robbie Atkinson said. “It reflects our dedication to enhancing industry standards through advanced technology and engineering excellence.”
Combined with its equipment line, MMT offers TotalCare—an integrated global support service that increases operational efficiency, production quality, and helps to mitigate the supply chain disruptions for consumables and spare parts.
“Customers attending CompaMed are at the forefront of the next wave of technological advancements,” Crew Feighery, MMT’s senior vice president of Sales and Marketing, stated. “Our showcased technologies and services exemplify our pursuit of improving efficiency and quality that directly translates into enhanced patient care.”
