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...
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,...
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.
In heart assist devices, the small stuff matters. Details like contact electrical resistance in the power interconnect can have a big impact on device life and patient safety. The Bal Conn® electrical contact and SYGNUS® implantable contact system (a turnkey serial Bal Conn® and silicone seal configuration) offer ultra-low contact resistance of <10 milliohms...
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...
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...
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...
Designing smaller implantable neuromodulation devices with greater connector density is one 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 implantable devices. It also suggests some ways you...
The Bal Conn® electrical contact and the SYGNUS® implantable contact system use proven canted coil spring technology to ensure ultra-reliable therapy delivery.
