Connectors for healthcare at home
Summary
From the LED display on a glucose monitor to the device’s electrical connector, every bit of this technology has been carefully crafted with reliability and safety in mind. Traditionally, connectors used in healthcare have needed to be robust to withstand heavy handling, IP67-sealed to protect electrical components from water ingress, and EMI-shielded to ensure data transmission is successful. Their small footprints make them ideal for portable or wearable medical devices, meaning patients are not inconvenienced by bulky, complex machinery. LEMO Redel plastic push-pull connectors are simple to operate and can be colour coded in line with the device to prevent accidental mismatching. PEI-Genesis is meeting the increased demand for healthcare at home by cultivating relationships with manufacturers to combine flexibility, high performance and safety into simple ergonomic designs.
