Our printing capability allows for the integration of printed sensors onto endotracheal tubes for sensing temperature, nerve monitoring and patient monitoring. The result is a “smart tube.”
Traditional subtractive printing technologies create precious metal (gold, silver, platinum) waste which adds to product cost. Our additive printing capability eliminates precious metal (gold, silver, platinum) waste.
Conformal printing is a competitive advantage of Micropen. Substrates may be hard, soft, or 3-D. Materials ranging in viscosity from 5 to 500,000 centipoise can be printed on the outside or the inside of a substrate. Printing characteristics include the ability to dispense linewidths down to 50microns and line spacing to 25microns with very low profiles.
Printed ablation features can be applied to deliver energy to a precise location. The same printing principles are utilized in cryo-ablation devices.
Surgical safety is growing in importance in minimally invasive surgeries. Printing a radiopaque marker provides designers with greater flexibility than traditional placement
of markers.
Designers can choose from conductive, dielectric, adhesive, and radiopaque inks to create functional elements designed to meet the application requirements.
