Technical details for hermetic connectors and packaging for medical devices

When moisture gets inside a medical device, it can impair performance or even cause a complete failure. Some devices use electrical connections with glue or epoxy to create a seal. However, these organic materials can degrade over time, increasing the risk of failure. SCHOTT offers truly reliable, hermetically sealed components made with inorganic, non-aging materials such as glass, metal, and ceramics. These seals are extremely durable even in harsh environments such as the body or sterilization processes.
