    Abstract: The present invention provides a multiple layer structure (10) for fabricati ng medical products. The layer structure (10) has a core layer (14) of an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer having an ethylene content of about 25-45 mole percent, a solution contact layer of a polyolefin positioned on a first side of the core layer, an outer (12) positioned on a second side of the core layer opposite the solution contact layer (16), the outer layer (12) being selected from the group consisting of polyamides, polyesters and polyolefins; two tie layers (18) - one of each adhered to the first and second sides of the core layer (14) and positioned between the solution contact layer (16) and the core layer (14) and between the outer layer (12) and the core layer (14), an d wherein the structure (10) is produced in a cast coextrusion process.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for connecting rounded members (14) between planar members (16) comprising the steps of providing a rounded member (14) having an outer layer (20) having a first melting temperature range and an inner layer (22) concentrically disposed within the outer layer and having a second melting temperature range, the second melting temperature range being warmer than the first melting temperature range, providing a pair of opposed planar members (16), the planar members (16) each having a melting temperature within the first melting temperature range, positioning an end portion (14a) of the rounded member (14) between perimete r edges (18) of the pair of planar members (16) to define an interface area (26), applying pressure to the interface area (26) to collapse the end portion (14a) of the rounded member (14) to essen- tially a flattened position, applying sealing energy to the interface area (26) to heat the rounded member {14) to a temperature within the first melting temperature range but below the second melting temperature range, thereby forming a weld between the planar members (16), and the rounded member (14) in the interface area (26), and, releasing the pressure to the interface area (26) wherein the end portion (14a) of the rounded member (14) returns to an open position.
