Baloon question
Baloon question
(OP)
In our application, we are using something that looks like a baloon with two inputs, the volume is ~100 mL
currently this item is made using a silicon dispersion and a ptfe Master is put in this bath 15 times with pauses to get the correct 0.2mm thickness The whole process takes less than a minute of handwork but roughly a day of curing.
Now that the product is having some success our concern is that we will need 10k lots ...
Any tips & ideas of a better manufacturing process ?
Thanks,
HS

Now we are molding this Item and will receive the first lot within days.
We are not really stuck with silicon but the device is medical and has to comply with cytotoxicity testing as per IEC 10993-x. with the current setting using the silicon dispersion it came through without any problem.

I have also seen large, low-pressure Balloon Catheders made of thermoplastic Polyurethane (for example Bayer makes medical grade TPU for this purpose). These are usually blow molded.
