Innovative medical technology for human treatment
Here you will find innovations and further developments from the Medical Technology for patient care, diagnostics, therapy or rehabilitation of patients such as washdown drives, components for ventilators, operating tables or wearables. Medical technology is perhaps the premier class of technology and offers a enormous growth potential.
Because the human population is growing inexorably and we are getting older and older. In the last 60 years or so, the worldwide Life expectancy increased by around 20 years. This development is due not least to modern medical technology. Medical technology devices, imaging diagnostics and all the components built into medical technology must meet high requirements so that they can meet the necessary, often global, permits and safety regulations.
Brand new medical technology
Below we present innovations for medical technology such as Drives, Sensors, Dosing, Materials, robots and robot drool or medical devices and assemblies as well as numerous application examples for your brainstorming and new development.
Quick-latching HF connectors for medical technology
20.02.2024 | IMS Connector Systems presents the innovative connector series Medeasylock, specially designed for use in medical technology applications. This tailor-made connection solution is made from high-quality brass alloy. It has a unique quick-locking mechanism.
High performance servo motors with good cleanability
17.05.2023 | Kollmorgen is expanding its AKMTM servo motor portfolio with a new high-performance servo motor. The focus of its development was cleanability, longevity and versatility. The motor features a hardened, anodized aluminum surface and provides a hygienic alternative to stainless steel for medium to heavy washdown applications.
Antibacterial controls defy viruses & co.
10.02.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX| The antibacterial operating parts of the Medigrip Product series were developed for applications in which the highest hygiene standards are required or in which the spread of germs must be prevented. They were, inter alia, for use in the Medical Technology developed. The handles are made entirely of plastic enriched with micro-silver.
Safety couplings in Niploy or stainless steel
For applications such as the pharmaceutical industry, the couplings must also be particularly corrosion-resistant. For this purpose, Orbit Antriebstechnik offers overload clutches in two options to select. The Securmax Servo in Niploy version with a corrosion and wear resistant uniform coating and the backlash-free torque limiters in Stainless steel version .
Induction, DC or servo motors in stainless steel
Servo motor and DC motor from Groschopp is now available as well stainless steel motor. Each electric motor is durable, robust and can be used in a variety of ways. Depending on the cooling concept used, the user achieves an extremely high output. Almost every electric motor from the manufacturer can also be integrated into a stainless steel housing.
Patented nanotechnology counts nanoparticles in real time
Sectors such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and cosmetics rely on nanoparticles to give their products special properties with nanomaterials. the med University of Graz Spin-off Brave analytics has now achieved a breakthrough in counting nanoparticles in collaboration with the University of Graz.
Hygienic cable entry for up to 32 cables
Contaclip now offers its cable entry plates from the KES range made from certified material for the special requirements of the pharmaceutical industry. With the hygienic cable entry of the new Series KES-GB-FDA up to 32 non-assembled cables can be installed in control cabinets or machine housings quickly and in a particularly space-saving manner.

Cochlear implants are revolutionary Hearing aidsthat can restore hearing for people with severe hearing loss, including deafness. They convert sound into electrical impulses, which the brain interprets as sound. This article provides an in-depth look at the impressive technology behind the cochlear implant and how it works, such as through the 3D microprint or thread forming screws.

With the "Variostack", IEF-Werner has developed an open and modular palletizing system that can be tailored to any task. The user can operate the palletizer with integrated product handling or connect it to an existing robot or handling system. In addition, the extremely compact palletizer can be loaded as standard with pallet trolleys or conveyor belts - with the belt loader version even from the side. This palletizing system is already in use at a manufacturer of medical technology products, for example.

Lubricant-free, media-resistant, non-magnetic, corrosion-free - these are decisive criteria for components in medical technology. Especially for the industry Igus developed the new plain bearing material "Iglidur AB". Antibacterial plain bearings made of this material help to reduce the germ load and are also lubrication and maintenance-free.

Mobile drug pumps have become indispensable in outpatient therapy for many diseases, such as pain therapy, oncology, parenteral nutrition or metabolic diseases. They give the patient mobility and thus a better quality of life. At the same time, the therapy costs are reduced, as the patients do not have to be cared for in the clinic as an inpatient or outpatient. There is, however, room for improvement in the mobile drug pumps commonly used today. Piezo ultrasonic motors from PI (Physik Instrumente) as pump drives can open up interesting perspectives here.

Dermatologists often prescribe cortisone for neurodermatitis therapy. Although the hormone brings relief to patients, it also has known side effects such as an increase in blood pressure or water retention in the tissue. Cold light beds are therefore sensible and efficient alternatives, especially since these are not limited to the treatment of neurodermatitis in their applications. Schulze & Böhm GmbH uses small shock absorbers from ACE to protect their latest UVA-1 bed, type "Medisun Xenia UVA-1", from damage.

Patient-friendly, minimally invasive interventions, for example in laparoscopy (laparoscopy), are unthinkable without high-resolution imaging methods. Two-dimensional, area-wide insights into the body have been established in endoscopy for years. Three-dimensional images, as known from the cinema, were not available to the surgeon for a long time. The new laparoscopy system "Einstein Vision" from Schölly Fiberoptic, together with the high-precision drive technology from PI (Physik Instrumente) Micos integrated in the handle, ensures a more atraumatic operating room world.
