VELCRO APPLICATIONS

Hospitals, Medical Device Manufacturers, and Hospital Supply Distributors love hook and loop because the materials are so easy to use, flexible, and safe to use on hoses, tubes, and wires.  Some of these materials are also designed to be safe for patients. Here are just a few examples.  Orthopedic & VELCRO® Brand hook and loop: From simple straps and slings to contract manufacturing of supports and braces, VELCRO® Brand hook and loop straps are strong, reliable, and ideal for use in orthopedic devices.  A person fastens a knee brace with Velcro straps on their leg.

CASE STUDY

Problem: How to align two cables in a straight line while bundling the rest A manufacturer of Medical Imaging Equipment requested a specially shaped medical-grade wire harness that would align two cables together and then wrap the rest of the cables into a neat bundle, allowing them all to slide into the machine’s transom. Solution: SPEEDWRAP® GEMS 2/4 Specially Shaped Wire Wrap. Speedtech produced a custom Die-Cut strap in a specific shape that would keep the two cable legs in line. The balance of the back-to-back material, which is hook and loop material, could then be used to wrap around the remaining bundle of cables. A customized, simple, and successful solution.
