Prepco: Your Medical Device Manufacturing Partner

Special Capabilities

Radio frequency (RF) induction end forming and welding of extrusion to net shape for catheter construction. We excel by end forming almost any engineering thermoplastic material to any size. We form extremely clean, crisp, and clear tips. We can even complete a full edge radius on a tip without any sharp edges, a process where experience shows.

We have perfected the ability to produce long, tapered tips with very soft materials. We have a unique ability to create smooth transition welds between different extrusions. To weld two different durometers, multi-lumen extrusions while keeping these lumens open is an accomplishment in our industry.

Pad printing with clear, strong images. We can put registration marks, graduations, and indicators in bands, or one to two side marks. Prepco Medical can print 30” images along an extrusion.

We provide high quality, yet low cost, hardened tool steel insert injection molds, particularly adept at specialty connectors and manifolds. Prepco Medical is capable of high-volume production, with single or multi-cavity molds. We can give you quotations within 24 hours.

All products that are shipped in bulk are placed in double polybags with cardboard shippers. Each bag is labeled with product number, revision level, lot number, quantity, purchase order number and description, and sterility condition.

Prepco Medical supplies certificates of compliance and a packing list with each shipment, turn around, and minimal set-up charges.
