CASE STUDY EIGHT - BESPOKE MEDICAL CABLES

This bespoke medical cable is used in the manufacture of medical devices in Neonatal and Infant Ventilation market. It epitomises the strengths of our manufacturing capabilities, as there are resistors soldered within the ODU connector that are extremely intricate.

The medical cable and the overmouldings were colour matched from a swatch given to us by the customer, which means the colour matches their equipment precisely. They were designed with the OD of the cable being the main focus; the cable had to be sized so that it did not look out of place with either a Binder or ODU connector fitted at either end.

The customer wanted the “Arrowheads” added to the Binder connector overmould to allow the end users (Nurses) to identify the keyway alignment. Being built into hospital equipment this medical cable assembly is fully anti-microbial, which was a major selling point to the customer.
