Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials’ role in the production of a new disposable speculum, in cooperation with the UK company Smiths Medical, is an illustration of the development know-how it can provide for medical applications. The design was further optimized by Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials to improve the mouldability and the assembly of the product, thus enabling its production in a fully automated manufacturing cell. By pursuing the automation route, the risk of contamination during production is greatly reduced. As a net result, the new design has excelled in the disposable market by providing improved product strength, a bigger viewing aperture and an ergonomic design (single-handed use by unique locking mechanism). |
