Applications of Hermetic Connectors and Packaging for Advanced Medical Devices

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. High-quality images are critical for endoscopic and laparoscopic surgeries. Windows, passthroughs, and connectors ensure power, light, and data pass in and out of instruments while protecting components from moisture, contaminants, and sterilization. In robotic surgery, connectors, housings, and windows are essential for accurate and synchronized automation and navigation of robotic arms and instruments.
