Two textile interfaces.
Look at the shape, supporting form and seam. These details help explain why the two component families need different construction methods.

Mechanical valve sewing cuff
A broad textile margin surrounds a circular support. Material coverage and seam position are defined around the device drawing.

Annuloplasty ring covering
The textile follows a contoured support. The pattern and join must fit the changing shape around the ring.

A closer view of the work behind a component: preparing the textile, placing a seam and checking it against defined requirements.

Material and shape studies
A development review brings together the support geometry, textile pattern and assembly method before a process is agreed.

A close view of hand sewing
Small parts require controlled handling and a clear sewing method. Training connects the stitch technique with the required finished shape.

Inspection under magnification
Inspection brings the physical component and its acceptance criteria together. The result needs to remain linked to the work and material records.
Follow the quality records
The controlled work environment
The working environment supports careful material handling, assembly and inspection. Read the facility page for AJSM’s stated capabilities.
