Smart medical devices

Electrically conductive silicone and encapsulated electronic components to deliver custom applications

Companies developing smart medical devices for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) often face challenges integrating complex electronics with biocompatible materials while ensuring reliable performance and regulatory compliance. Successfully balancing innovation, manufacturability, and the miniaturization of medical electronics is critical.

We provide expertise in sensor encapsulation and LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) overmolding for wearables. Our solutions help protect sensitive miniaturized medical electronics while enabling devices that remain virtually “invisible” to the patient - comfortable, durable, and designed for reliable long-term performance.

Your Smart medical device
in safe hands


The increasing digitalization of medical devices is a global trend. We specialize in LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) overmolding for wearables, protecting delicate circuitry from moisture and bodily fluids while maintaining a low-profile design.

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.

Sensor Encapsulation 
for Wearables 

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 for Smart Applications

While silicone is naturally an insulator, we offer proprietary electrically conductive silicone solutions for:

  • Neurostimulation: Delivering precise electrical pulses for pain management

  • Signal Conveyance: Measuring vital signs through smart sensors
