Medical convertingConverting is the process of transforming raw materials—such as films, foils, papers, foams, fabrics, and adhesives—into finished or semi-finished products through specialized manufacturing processes. is the modification and assembly of various materials during the manufacturing of a medical product. Often, individual components are the output of a converting process, and those components are assembled to produce the finished product. There are a variety of medical converting processes, including laminating, die cuttingDie cutting is a converting process that uses a shaped metal die or blade to cut flexible materials into precise shapes, components, or finished parts. This process is commonly used in roll-to-roll manufacturing to produce high-volume parts with consistent accuracy., and slittingCutting a wide web into narrower rolls with controlled edge quality, winding tension, and roll build. and rewindingRewinding is the process of transferring material from one roll to another while maintaining controlled tension, alignment, and roll quality. It is commonly performed after slitting, coating, or laminating operations.. A wide range of materials are used in medical converting depending on the product’s specifications. Often, these materials are medical-grade, and the converting processes take place in a clean room.
