Engineers from the company will be onsite to introduce attendees to the company’s new capabilities and products such as pacemakers, cochlear implants and surgical navigation.
They include:
- Ultra-Fine Wire Winding – The company’s capabilities include winding wire as small as 58 gauge (.0004mm diameter or 1/10 the size of a human hair) using precious (gold, silver and platinum) as well as more traditional copper wire.
- Telemetry (Antenna) Coils – Customisable components used in pacemakers, defibrillators, neurological implants, and cochlear implants to communicate with external programming devices containing TT Electronics’ transmitter coils.
- Inductive Charging Coils – Components also used in pacemakers, defibrillators, neurological implants, and cochlear implants to charge the batteries in the device/implant.
- High Voltage Transformers – Used in defibrillators (ICDs) to generate high voltage required for therapy.
- Inductors – Components used in pacemakers, defibrillators, neurological implants, and cochlear implants to filter and enhance signal integrity.
- Field Generation Coils – Components used in surgical navigation, internal diagnostic positioning, and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) systems used in bone healing, migraine treatment, and drug addiction therapy.
- Value-Add Capabilities – offered by TT Electronics to meet the challenges involved in the design, handling, termination, and testing of fine wire coils in the medical industry. The company’s “value add” offerings, which includes simulation design software, handling, termination, and microscope soldering, are compliant to ISO 13485 standards, performed in a class 100,000 clean room, and provide customers full product integration, streamlined logistics, and faster time to market.
TT Electronics will also highlight several products designed for use in multiple medical devices, including: a power inductor for current boost applications, a toroidal isolation transformer for medical power applications, and a WiFi transmit/receive antenna for medical instrumentation.
David Kertes, VP of sales and marketing at TT Electronics, said: “As the industry’s leading U.S. conference in medical manufacturing, MD&M West offers attendees access to current information, trends, and technologies of paramount importance in critical applications. We’re proud this year to introduce our ultra-fine wire winding and power electronics engineering capabilities, as well as our extensive range of magnetic coils for implantable and external medical applications.”
MD&M West takes place 5-7 February at Anaheim Convention Center, California.
