Services 
Prepco specializes in medical device manufacturing systems. We have years of experience and processing knowledge in cutting holes in tubes, bending tubes, molding connectors directly onto tubes, printing, end forming, and welding. We can design and produce wound drainage tubes, catheters of all types and sizes, blood reinfusion devices, dilators, and obturators.
We have large volume production capabilities, quick turn around, and minimal set-up charges.
Our special capabilities include:
- Radio frequency (RF) induction end forming and welding of extrusion to net shape for catheter construction. We excel by end forming almost any engineering thermoplastic material to any size. We form extremely clean, crisp, and clear tips. We can even complete a full edge radius on a tip without any sharp edges, a process where experience shows. We have perfected the ability to produce long, tapered tips with very soft materials.
We have a unique ability to create smooth transition welds between different extrusions. To weld two different durometer, multi-lumen extrusions while keeping these lumens open is an accomplishment in our industry.
- Hole cutting in any configuration and size. We can drill holes as small as .003" in diameter in soft, low durometer tubes. We can create virtully any pattern of holes and even vary the hole diameters within a particular pattern.
- Pad printing with clear, strong images. We can put your registration marks, graduations or indicators on one or two sides, with single or multiple colors. Prepco can pad print up to 30 inches in one stroke, another industry accomplishment.
- Offset band printing. We can print many bands at one time, 360 degree bands, and single or multiple colors. We can print all bands at once even on tubing up to 4 feet!
- Insert injection molding (microprocessor-controlled). We provide high quality, yet low cost, hardened tool steel insert injection molds, particularly adept at specialty connectors and manifolds. Prepco is capable of high volume production, with single or multi-cavity molds. We can give you quotations within 24 hours.
- Tube grinding, swaging, and bending. From raw extruded tubing, Prepco creates a finished device.
- Assembly and bonding. With years of experience and specialized equipment, such as EFD adhesive dispensing equipment, UV curing light wands and ovens, and tubing stretchers, we do complete assembly work. We manufacture and inventory devices for blanket orders over a specified time.
Packaging and Shipping All products that are shipped in bulk are placed in double polybags (to maintain clean-room quality and keep the cardboard away from the product) with cardboard shippers. Each bag is labeled with product number, revision level, lot number, quantity, purchase order number and description, and sterility condition.
Prepco supplies certificates of compliance and a packing list with each shipment.
