The Crucial Role of Electrical Connectors in Deep Brain Stimulation Devices Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has emerged as a groundbreaking therapy for a range of neurological disorders, offering hope to patients who previously had limited treatment options. At the heart of DBS devices lies a small array of electrical connectors, which play...
In the field of medical technology, closed-loop active implantables have revolutionized the way we approach the treatment of various medical conditions. These remarkable devices, such as pacemakers, cochlear implants, and neurostimulators, rely on intricate systems to function properly. One crucial component that often goes unnoticed but plays a pivotal role in their operation is...
At Bal Seal Engineering, we help designers reach new heights and achieve out-of-this-world objectives in space exploration and orbital satellite installation. We’re proud of our contributions to the success of countless critical missions, and we can’t wait to see what’s next. These days, NASA isn’t the only organization with its eye to the skies....
With the Bal Spring canted coil spring, you can achieve a higher level of protection for your semicon processing and test equipment designs, while improving yield and simplifying maintenance for your end user. Our spring lets you do more with less—effectively shielding against EMI, managing high current with low heat rise, and latching components...
The Bal Conn® electrical contact and the SYGNUS® implantable contact system deliver low electrical resistance (as low as 10 milliohms in some sizes) and minimal heat rise for maximum power efficiency and patient safety. Our components are helping designers redefine “temporary” circulatory support by enabling implantation for longer recovery periods.
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...
As a trusted supplier to medical device makers for over 60 years, Bal Seal Engineering has the products and resources you need to scale up design and manufacture of critical respiratory care equipment—fast. Whether you’re seeking solutions for new projects or retrofitting existing platforms, our collaborative engineering process and quick-turn prototyping will help...
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...
