MS-451PV Medical Device Packager

Ten years in product design and development and two US patents later, the MS-451PV is here.

This innovative new medical device packager will change the way medical device companies manage their sterile packaging program. With advanced integration, medical device quality teams can now manage in-process visual inspection and destructive testing on one integrated packaging machine. The MS-451PV medical pouch sealer controls all critical packaging attributes in order to ensure seal-to-seal consistency. An advanced transducer manages platen pressure that electronically feeds back data to the microprocessor in real time.

The MS-451PV medical device bag sealer also manages the platen’s thermal environment with a K-type thermocouple that is configured to sample pouch environment. But the MS-451PV does much more. This advanced system allows quality teams to program required stop and test functions into the machine. This function will automatically stop production, prompting the operator to perform first a visual seal inspection with our low angle of light 3x magnification visual inspection tester. Learn More

MS-350 Medical Pouch Sealer

Sterile device packaging's best friend, the MS-350 medical pouch sealer.

The MS-350 medical pouch sealer has gained an outstanding reputation for nearly 20 years as a robust, reliable, workhorse of a sealer. Unlike many packaging machines in our industry that build their sealers on mild steel cases, the MS-350 medical device sealer is built from the cast-aluminum base plate up to perform for the long haul. Unlike many packaging machines in our industry, the MS-350 medical pouch sealer does not use inexpensive air valves to actuate the critical pressure at the platen. Our custom-built solenoid, that is minutely controlled through the system’s advanced microprocessor, delivers consistent seal-to-seal pressure performance at the platen. The MS-350 medical pouch sealer has gained an incredible reputation in our industry and literally millions of seals are created each day through our network of users of this advanced system.

With the MS-350 comes the security of a captive lock-out alarm function that will monitor several critical attributes of the machine’s action when the machine is in use. For instance, if heat isn’t detected by the thermocouple, the machine will lock-up and not allow the sealer to function. If the pressure switch is not adjusted correctly, the machine will also lock-out, not allowing its continued use. The machine even evaluates the supply voltage in order to be certain that the machine is receiving adequate power for operation. Learn More

MD-850 Medical Rotary Sealer

This advanced medical packager is German-designed and built for precision duty, MD-850-US.

German engineered and built, the MD-850-US medical pouch sealer is an excellent choice for medical device companies wishing to seal their TyVek® and clear film pouch. With complete attention to the rigors of the sterile barrier system, the MD-850-US is a production performer. Simply feed the opened end of your pouch and the MD-850-US advanced conveyance system feeds your pouch across dual-heated platens that are precisely controlled using the system’s on-board computer.

Also, the MD-850-US also can be used with our optional roller table in order to support heavy medical devices such as orthopedic implants, etc. As your pouch conveys through the system, it now enters into the transducer-monitored pinch roller that engenders approximately 100 Newtons of force onto the pouch, finishing the sealing and curing process. After the pouch is sealed, it continues past the print head and the unit now can print important markings such as ISO symbolization, expiration dating, date of manufacturing, lot codes, etc. All the printing is performed on the tailing end, or non-sterile side of the seal. We encourage you to view the video of this sealer in action in order to see how quickly all the above actions are performed. Operators continue to feed in open pouches, which makes for impressive throughput numbers at the end of each shift. Learn More

PTT-100V Package Testing Unit

Quality teams agree - the best way to thwart the risk of a packaging failure in the market is accurate and regular testing and inspection. A product recall due to packaging failures is a senseless risk that can devastate a medical device company.

Van der Stahl Scientific’s package integrity lab understands the value of regular and thorough testing and it is within that spirit that we have developed the all new PTT-100V. This patented medical pouch test and inspection unit has received outstanding reviews from our customers. Learn More

Viu Visual Inspection Unit

A human eye is an incredible machine. Despite our incredible computer and sensor technologies, we can’t even begin to touch the surface of the human eye’s amazing capabilities. It has a 200 degree viewing angle, can see 2.7 million colors and has a possible contrast ratio of about 1,000,000 to 1 [Wikipedia].

The eye is the ultimate inspection device, and yet we seem to lean away from the human eye’s capability to other empirical data portals. In the medical device packaging industry, inspection and monitoring are king. In order for us to be certain that the medical devices that we cocoon to market are kept viable and efficacious, we need to use all tools available in science. Learn More

Engineering Support

Just as important as the quality products we offer, our staff of exuberant and talented individuals can guide you through your project.

At Van der Stähl Scientific we have a basic philosophy: If you're in the business of providing machinery that seals sterile packs, you need to have a solid understanding of the integrity of the seal your machine creates. Enter the Van der Stähl Scientific Package Integrity Lab. With an intense interest to provide our customers with exceptional customer

care, we have invested tens of thousands of dollars to create this full service sterile package integrity lab. This state of the art lab allows us to evaluate the pouches and bags that our machinery seals to better understand the total value of the seals that our machines produce. Our laboratory and trained technicians are able to scrutinize sterile packs through a variety of seal strength challenges. Some of these evaluation machines have actually been invented and built by our Sterile Packaging Group. Learn More
