Sewn, Sealed & Thermoformed Medical Products for OEMs
Polo Custom Products understands that the medical device manufacturing industry demands precision, reliability, and high-quality standards. Polo has expertise in three essential capabilities that play a pivotal role in producing medical products: sealing, thermoforming, and sewing. These processes are key to creating medical solutions that meet or exceed performance, safety, and regulatory requirements.
Sealing: Sterile, Airtight, Watertight
Sealing is a critical process in medical manufacturing, especially with products that need to be airtight, watertight, or sterile. Whether it’s a drainage bag, surgical kit, or fluid collection bag, achieving a secure seal is essential to the functionality and safety of these products. Polo specializes in a range of sealing techniques, each tailored to meet the specific needs of your project.
One of the most common sealing methods we offer is RF Sealing (Radio Frequency Sealing). This process uses high-frequency radio waves, combined with pressure and cooling, to bond two layers of material into a single, durable seal. The result is a strong, airtight or watertight seal ideal for medical products that need to be resistant to leakage, such as body fluid collection bags or laparoscopic surgery bags. We use thermoplastics and films like PVC and urethane, which are ideal for this process.
In addition to RF Sealing, we also offer several other sealing methods that may be more suitable for certain types of products. Hot air welding is a versatile process that works well for larger medical bags, providing flexibility when sealing complex shapes. It’s particularly useful for products with curves or edges and is ideal for thicker materials. Impulse sealing, on the other hand, is quick, energy-efficient, and well-suited for smaller items that require fast, strong seals. This method allows us to work with a wider range of materials, from polypropylene and polyethylene to Tyvek and foils. For precision sealing, especially when working with smaller areas or intricate shapes, Ultrasonic sealing is another excellent option we offer. Our team of engineers will work with you directly to come up with the best sealing option for your specific project. Click below to contact us today or request a quote and see how we can help you!
Thermoforming: Shaping Medical Materials & Cases
Thermoforming is a technique for creating medical products that require precise molding, such as custom medical equipment cases or surgical trays. In this process, a material is heated to its softening point, then stretched and molded into a specific shape. The ability to form materials into exact molds is particularly important when developing medical products that need to fit securely around equipment or sensitive items.
Thermoformed Products Examples
- AED & Defibrillator Carrying Cases
- Shoulder and Lumbar Support Pad Assemblies
- Device Pouches
- Packaging
- Protective Cases
- Isotope Carrying Cases
- Trays & Stands
- Shrouds & Housings
At Polo Custom Products, we’re highly selective in choosing the right materials for thermoforming. Factors such as ruggedness, material stretch, and foam density all influence the performance of the final product. For example, cold/hot therapy wraps and compression garments require materials that can stretch and conform to the body, while also withstanding repeated use and cleaning.

Sewing Medical Products for OEM’s
Industrial sewing of medical products allows for flexibility, strength, and durability for products such as Compression Garments and Surgical Drapes. At Polo Custom Products, we carefully consider material properties like thickness, stretch, and finish, as well as the appropriate sewing machine, stitch patterns, and thread types for each application. For example, when designing a custom strap to hold up to 10,000 lbs, our team developed a specialized stitch pattern to meet strength requirements. Every decision, from choosing the right tools to reinforcing seams, ensures the final product is both durable and flexible, meeting performance standards.
