Scantron conceived, designed, built and recently delivered a tabletop non-contact laser micrometer and rig to global suture manufacturer Pearsalls. Pearsalls has a manufacturing history going back to 1795, are based in Taunton, Somerset, England, and is now part of the US surgical medical equipment producer Corza.
Pearsalls ‘designs and manufactures textile implants for use in orthopaedic, general and vascular surgery, twisted and braided silk [and] synthetic textiles for use as non-absorbable surgical sutures and components for medical devices or dental floss. They have been exporting products around the world for over 25 years for manufacturers to use within the medical device industry.’
“Scantron is built on a foundation of deep knowledge of non-contact measurement, mechanical design prowess and measurement software development. We pride ourselves on partnering with our customers in developing products and solutions that can empower their manufacturing processes and lead to continuous improvement. I believe our engineers build some of the best non-contact measurement solutions in the industry,” said Lars Lindstrand, Managing Director, Scantron.
The latest tabletop laser micrometer supplied to Pearsalls by Scantron will be used in their Quality Assurance laboratory. It will allow them to use the latest contactless laser technology, improving accuracy and speed of measurement.
Scantron has previously built and supplied two other systems for measuring Pearsalls’ flat tape sutures based on a two-axis laser gauge.
Yvonne Yeo, Quality Manager at Pearsalls explains, “We have made a conscious decision to up our game in QA measurement and analysis, which will enable us to more rigorously test our suture products so that they exceed the tolerance requirements of our customers across the United States, Europe, and the globe.”
