Syringe Extension
A company using an expensive two stage
assembly for a cartridge
used to contain their
drug compound asked
Sovrin to devise a one piece answer to improve the storage life of the product whilst offering a cost reduction.
Project:
-
Inherent technical problems with the
existing design
- Problems in dosing the adhesive used in
the original assembly
- Shut-off on substrate part with
dimensional variation was critical
- Polymer selection dictated by the need
for a strong bond with substrate
- Very high pull force testing requirement
Outcome:
-
One-piece component design developed
- Use of adhesive eliminated
- Tool design developed to cope with
inconsistent substrate
- Suitable polymer identified and
successfully tested
