Our expertise

Winding

Accuracy remains the highest priority when the needle is locked onto the tray and while the thread is wound. Thanks to our cutting-edge technologies and individually coordinated production steps, only perfectly stocked trays continue on to the subsequent blister packaging.

Blistering and packaging

The suture material is packaged into blisters made from shaped aluminum with two chambers, one of which holds the tray. The second is for sterilization: It contains a covering film with a Tyvek window through which the gas can penetrate during sterilization. It is subsequently separated in the sealer/blanker machine.

Products

  • Packaging into aluminium blister packs, which are subsequently sterilized.

    Blister packs made from shaped aluminum serve as packaging for the suture material.

  • The XTray® can be used for needles and threads in a variety of combinations.

    The XTray® is a standardized tray by DS Technology für automated winding of needle and thread.
