ODU has introduced high-voltage variants into its medical connector range
Medi-Snap High Voltage are designed for “transmission of high pulse and continuous voltages together with simultaneous provision of high pulse currents and sensitive signals in a compact design”, according to the company. “Both pure high-voltage connectors and combinations of up to 5kV peak together with signals in a hybrid configuration are possible.”
The connectors are autoclavable, enabling continued re-use in sterile medical environments providing the rest of the cable assembly is designed accordingly.
Electronics Weekly has requested further information on this high voltage medical connector range, so watch this space.
Applications are foreseen with ablation catheters (high-voltage RF), shock wave therapy and piezo actuators in surgical drills and mobile infusion devices.
