Custom Fluid Components

Why settle for good enough when you can have great? Beyond coming up with a solution that simply "does the job," Nordson MEDICAL's team of product development engineers will raise the bar and creatively drive the solution toward market differentiation. Our unique combination of innovative product development paired with robust and reliable manufacturing experience will ensure a good foundation when moving to full production scale-up later down the road.

• Concept Development
  • We utilize many tools to develop solutions and product designs including brainstorming sessions, "napkin sketches", and other early process ideation activities.
  • Our experienced engineers will work with your team to gather all product requirements and determine methods to address any current challenges you are trying to overcome.
• Technology Development
  • We are constantly developing and acquiring the latest technologies and capabilities to support product development and manufacturing.
• Industrial Design
  • We want the product to not only work well, but also look good.
  • A focus on ergonomics and form factors improves the user experience.
• Engineering Analysis and Simulation
  • Nordson MEDICAL uses the latest software to support engineering simulation, reducing development time and comparing multiple concepts quickly, to aide in down selection.
  • Our analysis capabilities include FEA, CFD, Plastics / Mold Flow, and all other engineering tools.

Great ideas paired with industry-leading innovation are the source that, with proper planning and attention, have the ability to become a ground-breaking product. Nordson MEDICAL engineers have the experience and tools in product innovation to make ideas a reality. The combination of engineering analysis, high-precision on-site mold making, and lights-out highly automated manufacturing ensures products developed by Nordson MEDICAL not only meet the most demanding of applications but are scalable when released to manufacturing.

• DFM, DFA, DFX
  • We have the capabilities to take a raw concept and optimize it for manufacturability, assembly and automation, quality, and any other end-use requirements the product needs to meet.
• Prototyping
  • We can support early prototyping needs from form factors to production equivalents for regulatory submissions and clinical trials.
  • Our services include additive manufacturing (3D printing), machining, casting, prototype molding, ultrasonic welding, UV cure, and solvent bonding.
• Bridge Manufacturing
  • Nordson MEDICAL has full toolmaking capabilities to support pilot and pre-production volumes on products that have slow adoption periods or that require higher than prototype volumes for clinical trials and regulatory submissions.
• Full-Scale Production
  • We specialize in high-precision molding ranging in annual volumes from 10K - 100M, or more.
  • We can mold on presses ranging from 17 - 165 Clamp Tonnage.
• Secondary Services
  • Our secondary operations include assembly operations, ultrasonic welding, adhesive dispensing, UV curing, solvent bonding, annealing, custom packaging, custom labeling, and sterilization.
• Engineering and QA Services
  • We offer design verification testing, product validation testing, and capability analyses.
  • Our fully capable testing lab supports flow testing, material stress analysis, Instron axial-pull and side-load testing, life cycle testing, accelerated aging, environmental chambers, chemical compatibility testing (cleaners, solvents, etc.), and ISO 80369 series requirements.
  • Our inspection services include CMM, optical measurements, and standard techniques.

Taking a great product design and scaling it to millions of components per year in a highly regulated industry is no easy feat. With decades of high-volume precision medical manufacturing experience in a highly automated clean room environment, Nordson MEDICAL is your trusted source to bring your product to fruition.

• High-Precision Molding
  • We utilize "lights out" highly automated molding operations.
  • One-manned shifts run 24/7.
  • Our Class 101 Nordson-owned tooling is manufactured to the highest quality standards available.
• Clean Room Manufacturing
  • We operate an ISO Class 8 cleanroom.
  • Manufacturing services include clean room molding and secondary operations.
• Full Lot and Process Traceability
  • We maintain records of all molding processes for every lot.
• Assembly and Automation Engineering
  • Nordson MEDICAL offers process engineering, manufacturing line layout, fixture and equipment design, packaging (blister pack, polybag, Tyvek, etc.), and product sterilization.
  • If your volumes grow, we will be in the ring with you to ensure optimization and robust process development meets your business demands.
• Medical Device Manufacturing
  • We operate an FDA-registered manufacturing facility.
  • We uphold ISO 13485 compliance.
