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...
Industrial valves control, isolate, and regulate the flow of liquids and gases. Their failure can result in severe equipment damage, injury, lost profit, and costly cleanup. Read on to find out how sealing in industrial valves can help solve your design concerns.
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...
Performance requirements for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) equipment—including clinical, hematology, and urine analyzers—are outpacing capabilities. Increasingly, the IVD industry is seeking equipment that lasts at least three years or more compared with the existing standard one-year maintenance program. This demand for extended service life and less-frequent maintenance cycles is forcing design engineers to take a closer look...
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.
Downhole tools and equipment are crucial to the success of the drilling process. These tools help monitor and direct the drill string. They also reach great depths, and cover long distances. Read through this presentation for information on how to improve sealing performance in these downhole tools.
Foothill Ranch, Calif. – U.S.A. – September 17, 2019 – An updated technical catalog published by Bal Seal Engineering provides designers with detailed information about how spring-energized seals can be used to address rotary sealing challenges. The 32-page catalog, titled “Bal Seal® Spring-Energized Seal Solutions for Rotary Applications,” describes how the company’s broad range...
