Complete Couplings Range for Medical Technology Equipment

With tailor-made coupling systems for the medical technology sector, Rectus AG, the quick connect couplings specialist from Nussdorf, will be using existing know how in the growing health market to establish an additional pillar. The aim is to develop connection solutions for all current medical technology equipment: from air chamber beds to dialysis machines and bioreactors for insulin production. For the purposes of the strategic development and expansion of the new "Medical Business Unit", the company has been joined by Thomas Emmel a specialist in this market segment. For many years, this 50-year-old mechanical engineer worked for a large American couplings manufacturer, as the key account manager for the area of medicine and biotechnology.


Synthetic Couplings for Highest Quality Requirements. The developers are focusing on three plastics polysulphon (PSU), polyacetal (POM) and polycarbonate (PC) which have proven their use in medical technology. For reasons both of hygiene and of cost, a large proportion of future product pallets will constitute non-reusable items produced by injection moulding. Despite their short durability, these couplings have to meet very high demands.
