Protective Covers for Sensitive Blood-Pressure Measurement Device
Custom Rubber Corp. worked with our customer to first design, then prototype,
and finally produce two finished rubber bumpers that protect the screen of
the monitor and the buttons and dials that are used to calibrate and activate
the blood pressure monitor. (Continued below.)
(ref: 105586/105587)
The design work began with the solid model of the plastic
case, and Custom Rubber assisted in developing configurations which would visually
compliment the rest of the device while providing the protection from drops
and bumps that was needed.
After the design was complete, Custom Rubber supplied rapid prototypes using
a three step process. First, the solid model was used to create an SLA, hard
plastic prototype. Second, this hard plastic prototype was used to make a silicone
rubber mold. Finally, the silicone mold was used to cast urethane parts.
The urethane prototype parts exhibit many of the same physical properties
as the finished production parts; tensile and elongation, similar durometer,
and a rubbery feel. By taking the time to test with rapid prototypes, Custom
Rubber Corp. and the customer were able to confirm the proper fit and shape
of the rubber protective covers.
Designed for use with animals, the blood pressure monitor is very fast and
easy to use; key ingredients for accurately measuring the blood pressure of
animals who aren't always cooperative. And now, the device can survive any
number of drops to the exam room floor.
