title: The revolution in advanced wound-care converting.
abstract: In the advanced wound-care sector, there is an accelerating trend away from serial batch production towards transformational, continuous and integrated process lines. This is creating new standards and challenges in converting processes, which run faster, produce less waste and require fewer operators to run them. This article identifies those challenges and highlights the increasing importance of the relationship between wound-care manufacturer, materials science and the design of the converting process.
