You’re constantly challenged to design life-saving dialysis machines that run longer and more reliably while delivering precise levels of dialysate. The Bal Seal® spring-energized seal can help. It can provide reduced maintenance, lower operating costs, and biocompatibility & FDA compliance. Bal Seal® spring-energized seal improves performance and accuracy in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis machines...
In this session, originally presented on August 6, 2020 during the TechTalk segment of Informa’s BIOMEDevice virtual show, Bal Seal Engineering Business Development Director David Fogel talks about how components (including seals, springs, and contacts) represent “hidden opportunities” for performance improvement in surgical robot designs. He explores how they can be leveraged to...
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical ventilators are playing a vital role in patient survival and recovery. It has never been more important to keep these machines running longer and more reliably. Choosing the right seal for design or retrofit can make a difference.

Designing cardiac rhythm management and ventricular assist devices that reliably deliver lifesaving therapy is a tough job. But choosing the right electrical contact can make it a lot easier. That’s why we’ve prepared this short presentation for you. It examines the relationship between electrical contact selection and the performance of cardiac devices. It...
When you fasten parts of your retractors, fusion and fixation systems, debridement tools, joint replacement systems, and other medical instruments/devices with canted coil springs, improved cleanability and functionality can be achieved. Check out this short presentation, and learn how you can use the spring to deliver robust, reusable designs that work better. Using Canted...
Implanted in the body, cardiac devices manage and monitor pacing, assist with ventricular pumping, and defibrillate the heart through the use of electrical pulses. Device lead interconnects must safely and reliably link the battery and electronics to the lead. Designs must support strict standards for implantables (IS-1, IS-4,, or DF-4), as well as VAD...
Dialysis machine design is critical- nearly 3.4 million patients worldwide require regular dialysis treatment. These machines filter blood outside the body while controlling temperature, dialysate levels, and circulation.
