Capacitors For Medical Implantable Devices
As the global life expectancy continues to get longer, the demand for electronic medical implantable devices is growing.
There are devices for Neurostimulation, Pacemakers, Pain Management Devices, Cardiac Assist & Insulin Pumps, devices to treat and monitor hypertension, sleep apnea, brain/spinal cord problems, devices for heart monitoring, loop recorders, cochlear implants and the range continues to expand.
As devices get smaller, making implant surgery simpler for the physician, the one constant that must remain if the device is to deliver its lifesaving or enhancing function, is its reliability
The manufacture of medical implantable devices are highly regulated by regulatory bodies such as the International Standards Organization (ISO) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to maintain the highest level of reliability. The tight controls placed on the design, development and manufacture of these devices must be met by the supp
