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...
Precision machined from FDA compliant polymers and available in space-saving sizes, The Bal Seal® helps surgical robot designers meet the demand for smaller machines that deliver more precise haptic sensing and feedback. Our seal combines very low friction jacket materials with innovative geometries and a wear-reducing energizer to deliver superior sealing effectiveness AND smooth,...
Watch this short video and see how a Bal Seal® spring-energized seal can help you meet the demand for smaller surgical robots with more precise haptic sensing and feedback capabilities. With its low friction FDA compliant jacket material, innovative geometry, and wear-reducing energizer, Bal Seal® delivers superior protection against leakage while promoting smooth,...
It’s not always easy to see the link between seals and overall equipment performance. But it’s there. We’ve designed this infographic to illustrate how the right seal can help designers answer the demand for smaller, more precise robots that amplify surgeon performance and improve patient outcomes.

We’ve developed some great new resources for electrical contacts in heart assist devices, and we’d like to share them with you. If any of these get you thinking about how our Bal Conn® and SYGNUS® contacts could help you improve the performance and reliability of your VAD, pMCS, or catheter device, just call or...
Creating heart assist devices that help bridge the gap between short and long term care 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 VAD, pMCS,...
On October 6th, 2021, we’ll be kicking off our DesignLive webinar program with a free 30-minute session on sealing for medical devices. If you’ve been looking for ways to improve the performance and reliability of a surgical tool, pump, or any other type of medical device, you’ll want to register and mark your calendar...
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 heart assist devices, the small stuff matters. Little details, like electrical resistance levels in the power interconnect, can have a big impact on performance and patient safety. Our Bal Conn® electrical contact, with its ultra-low resistance and minimal heat rise, helps devices—and designers—keep their cool, and manage power more efficiently.
