Preventing Installation Damage
Today’s advanced medical procedures and treatments
have placed rigorous new
requirements on medical equipment and devices. Let
our medical sealing experts
diagnose your sealing needs
and prescribe the right
solution for you.
Installation damage can occur in both static and dynamic
seals. This failure mode is marked by short cuts, notches,
a skinned or peripherally peeled surface. We suggest
simple steps to prevent O-ring installation damage.

Elastomer Offerings:

O-ring must be considered in order
to create an effective seal. The
combination of these tolerances is
the tolerance stack-up.
