HUDSON, Mass., July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Hypertronics Corporation, a Smiths Interconnect business and world-leading provider of high performance interconnect solutions for the most demanding applications, announced today the release of their ImplanTac contacts for the IS-1 and draft IS-4 form factors as set forth by the International Organization of Standards (ISO). These high-reliability contacts are also available for 1.27mm probe diameters as well as custom sizes and configurations. They are designed for implantable medical devices where reliability, dependability and ease-of-use are critical. ImplanTac is designed for use in pacemakers, ICDs (internal cardiac defibrillators, or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators), neurostimulators, metabolic controls, circulation pumps, bone growth simulators, and pain management devices, which all will gain from this advanced technology. Hypertronics Corporation maintains ISO 13485 certification which confirms their comprehension and compliance to medical device industry standards.
Typically the devices are encapsulated into a housing structure, then implanted into the body cavity. The leads are connected to the device during the surgical procedure. These leads monitor and apply electrical energy based on sensory inputs. The connection must be of the ultimate reliability since failure could be life threatening, thus the need for Hypertronics ImplanTac technology.
