The medical market constantly demands smaller, more compact devices for healthcare services. Bonded multilayer fluidic manifolds can be a good choice to achieve packaging size reduction. A multilayer manifold is frequently a single manifold replacing the traditional tubing connections between multiple manifolds. The layers allow vertical integration and encapsulation of the connections between various components such as pumps and valves. Bonded fluidic manifolds have many advantages over the traditional tubing layout such as:

• Smallest possible size for a given circuit with an associated weight reduction
• Reduction in tubing and connection points lowering the likelihood of leaks
• Clarity to better visualize and understand the fluid flow
• Simplified assembly on the manufacturing floor
• Single part cleaning requirement
• Simplified field servicing
• Reduces product complexity
• Component mounting directly on the manifold
• Zero entrapment area, no unswept volume

Connecticut Plastics fusion bonding process is unique and superior to other manufacturing techniques for multilayered bonded manifolds. Manifolds can be manufactured in Acrylic, Polycarbonate, Polysulfone, PVC and Ultem
