Applications of hermetic connectors and packaging for medical devices
Surgical instruments
SCHOTT’s hermetic connectors, feedthroughs, and electronic packages meet the demands of high-current, battery-operated surgical instruments through an extended lifetime of autoclave sterilization cycles. These components feature excellent heat transfer to protect sensitive electronics while their lightweight and small dimensions make surgical tools easy to handle, enhancing efficiency and usability.
Endoscopy
High-quality images are critical for endoscopic and laparoscopic surgeries. Our windows, passthroughs, and connectors ensure power, light, and data pass in and out of instruments while protecting components from moisture, contaminants, and sterilization. Surgeons can trust that their endoscopes will be ready and working throughout a procedure. These fully customizable components also enable lightweight and compact designs.
Robotic surgery
In robotic surgery, every component of the system must function flawlessly. SCHOTT’s robust and precise connectors, housings, and windows are essential for accurate and synchronized automation and navigation of robotic arms and instruments. These components also facilitate quick and reliable image transfer, providing a high-quality view and excellent responsiveness.
