Medical device for measuring urine flow and quantity for OR patients

The customer:

dynamics

the challenge

MEd Dynamics has developed a device that measures the amount and flow of urine in OR patients, giving surgical teams a real-time indication of the patient's condition during a surgical procedure.

The device consisted of a single use part through which the tooth was absorbed and measured; The data is then displayed in the OR on a digital screen

The main challenge was to build a product that accurately represents the patient's condition, using materials that are very difficult to work with including flexible PVC which is similar to rubber, hard PVC.

Another challenge was the requirement for a low price point due to the single use nature of the product.

We were also required to work in a clean environment.

We designed and manufactured multi-cavity molds for each component. The parts were matched to one another so that the urine flow and the measurement results would meet the product requirements.

For the PVC components, we used corrosion-resistant stainless steels suited to processing PVC. We also established inspections for critical parts to check the accuracy needed for reliable measurements.

The customer introduced several improvements during production. Plastomold provided advice and implemented the changes through a flexible production process. The project met the target price, and the molds have been used to manufacture hundreds of thousands of disposable units.
