 “This is a key step in our development plan to provide a high quality integrated production facility, so that we provide the medical equipment and biomedical device industry with a complete production service, right from pre-production trials to volume manufacture and logistics support, to serve world markets” said Arrow Medical managing director John Johnson.

The new facilities feature the latest design to maintain Class 10,000 ISO 7 (J) standards throughout, and will be integrated with other facilities at Kington, which include silicone moulding, radio frequency welding, and other assembly processes, such as heat welding and gluing.

CEO of Medilink West Midlands, Tony Davis officially opened the new Arrow Medical facility on 3rd May. “One of Medilink’s key tasks,” he said, “is to encourage the development of the medical device industry. This investment by Arrow adds more high quality manufacturing capacity to support West Midlands medical innovators and entrepreneurs, and helps established medical device businesses produce reliable products to world standards, and to become more competitive.”

The new clean room includes down flow assembly stations, as well as open assembly tables with automated glue dispensing, laser engineering, and other assembly facilities. It has been designed to incorporate silicone moulding, and other discrete production technologies to meet specific customer requirements. This will allow Arrow Medical to assemble a variety of advanced devices, including combinations of optics, and precision engineered metal and polymer components.

The new clean room covers the final assembly phase of Arrow Medical’s production line, and includes secure packaging facilities, so that products leaving the complex go directly to gamma or ETO sterilisation facilities before delivery to clinical customers.
