And they must be fast and precise – and literally well-rested. In addition to modern machinery and the use of versatile technologies, what counts above all for the successful realisation of innovative projects is a competent and committed team.

Use in clinics and research facilities

The kragoTEC® team was accordingly enthusiastic when the manufacturer of a small medical computer needed a high-quality solution for use in clinics and research facilities.

User-oriented development from enquiry to implementation

The task: challenging

Production of a specific belt system with flexible yet secure support. All this while ensuring maximum comfort for the patient, who wears the device, including the holder, directly on their body – overnight. Relevant here: a comfortable but secure hold that can easily tolerate even uncontrolled movements. It was necessary to take into account that a total of five layers of different materials had to be processed permanently and extremely securely. This required the addition of extra eyelets and loops.

More than well-rested: the technically sound solution from kragoTEC®

The hook and loop specialists from consulting and product development worked closely with production experts and product testers to develop a solution that fully met the specific customer requirements. Not only were they able to weld different materials together using ultrasonic technology, they also successfully mastered the challenge of creating a secure connection with multiple layers of material. To this end, specific eyelets and loops were attached, resulting in a pocket with a protective flap for secure – yet comfortable and movement-tolerant – fastening of the sensitive digital medical device.

The result: a convincing product for the manufacturer

For the manufacturer, this practical approach by the kragoTEC® team has more than proven its worth. Its sensitive digital devices can be used directly on patients on a daily basis in a durable, flexible and safe manner. This makes it a suitable partner for numerous clinics and research centres.
