Even as the COVID-19 pandemic wanes, manufacturers of medical devices, monitoring systems and personal protection equipment continue their quest to make products that enhance the lives of all patients. High-volume companies, such as UK-based Firstkind Ltd., rely on proven technologies like ultrasonic welding to reach this goal.
Firstkind became acquainted with ultrasonic welding in 2020, to keep up with National Health Service (NHS) demand during the pandemic for the company’s wearable geko therapy device. The NHS purchased thousands of the devices for distribution throughout the UK to healthcare facilities to help recovering patients.
