EL.P. founded in 1978 as an electronic design office, has thenincreased its action-ray in the automation processes (thereforealso in the mechanics, pneumatics) Nowadays EL.P. produces andmarkets the "SPHEROX" (projected by us and presented in theexhibition "Index" in Geneve in 1984), electro-pneumatic machinesfor the realization of round surgical sponges. The advantages ofthe sponges produced by Spherox consist in that they are ready touse (the square multiply compresses must be folded before use), andthe dead bacterias number, after sterilization, in handmade spongesis about 10.000 times higher than the number reached by theproduction of Spherox. Thanks to their versatility and diffusion(over 80 machines all around the world), our machines are in amarket leader position, being the concurrents off of target forproductivity or cost. Among our best customers we count: Molnlycke(Sweden), Lohmann (Germany), Johnson & Johnson (UK), Salvadori(Italy), Artsana (Italy), Rico (Ceka Republic), Fesmed (ex DDR),Multigate (Australia). The strength of our machines is that Spherox1 and 2 have been projected to be easy to maintain and to use, alsofor people with a low knowledge on electronics and mechanics. Thiswith the aid of a good handbook translated into 5 Languages.Besides on, a complete spare parts set, included in the sale price,allows the customer to be self-sufficient. At the moment arevolutionary continuously variable transmission for cars (CVT)patented in all of the world by us is in an advanced testing phaseand a new machine for the production of folded compresses is goingto be constructed.
