Smart medical devices
Electrically conductive silicone and encapsulated electronic components to deliver custom applications
Companies developing smart medical devices often face challenges in integrating complex electronics with biocompatible materials while ensuring reliable performance and regulatory compliance. Balancing innovation with manufacturability and maintaining patient safety throughout the development process can also be demanding.
Two main Applications in Smart Devices:
With many years of experience working with biocompatible silicones and a strong background in integrating electronics, our engineering team has developed a proprietary electrically conductive silicone to support targeted muscle stimulation.
Encapsulation of electronic components with silicone
Wearables or smart devices are worn directly on the body and monitor vital signs. Silicone insulates the electronic components and sensors, protecting them from dirt and fluids. This ensures reliable operation and durability.
Electrically conductive
silicone devices
Although silicone by itself is an insulator, when combined with fillers it can be conductive. Applications include neurostimulation for pain treatment or targeted training of specific muscle groups as well as using the conductive silicone to measure and convey signals.
