Miniature medical sensors and related processes enable medical practitioners to complete a wide range of activities proficiently. Some of them are;
- Reaching to those areas in the body that were previously non-reachable.
- Reaping the benefits of the Cryo Cancer Treatment, where doctors first freeze a tumor and then apply heat on it and continue the cycle to remove the cancerours tumor.
- Eliminating chances of body function related disruptions.
- Reducing the consumption of energy.
- Boost the validity and work efficiency of the miniature implants.
Manufacturing micro coils and super-fine wires require extreme preciseness and expertise, coupled with extensive knowledge and experience. Besides, you need custom-designed and in-house equipment to manufacture micro medical coils. That is why very few companies in the world produce micro medical coils and sensors. However, with rising awareness and the wide-ranged benefits of medical sensors, designers are showing more interest in this field.
Applications:
Some of the applications among the widespread applications of miniature sensors are;
- Diagnostics: Creating wireless communication with miniature implants, medical sensors help in detecting vital signs in the body.
- Implants:
- Monitoring and controlling micro pacemakers.
- Deep brain stimulation.
- Navigation:
- Targeted drug delivery.
- Stent adjustment.
- Target-based radiation catheters.
- Inner-body tagging.
- To measure temperature: Micro thermocouple consists of miniature coils (the technology is known as Thermo-pressure molecular bonding technology).
Manufacturing requirements:
Manufacturing micro coils for medical sensors comprise multiple conditions which are;
- Manufacturers must prepare micro coils following the specifications of the clients.
- Manufacturers must follow a very strict guideline while making micro coils to eliminate any chance of mistakes.
- You will not get micro coil winding machines on the market. Before manufacturing micro coils, you need to make custom-made machines to wind micro coils.
- Manufacturers maintain material traceability and register each and every stage of the making procedure. Using reverse trace, you can even know the location of the quarry that produced the material.
What is the exclusivity of a company who manufactures miniature coils:
Micro coil manufacturers use super-fine wires to maintain connectivity within medical sensors. The diameter of the super-fine wires needs to be less than 9 microns. To understand it better, if you compare a super-fine wire with human hair, you would find the human hair 5-10 times thicker than the super-fine wire. Due to this intense precision, in most cases, coil manufacturers make the winding machines.
Connectivity solutions:
Heat-based soldering is improper for micro coil manufacturing because they yield plenty of bad effects including bad connectivity, heat-based damage, oxidation, poor connection, etc. Thermo-pressure bonding technology alleviates these issues. That is why this technology is best for connecting super-fine wires. With the help of this technology, you can join two super-fine wires of different diameters together. In case of any requirement of terminal-based connectivity, a gold-plated terminal is used to join the wires. Without any need for soldering, thermo-pressure bonding technology delivers consistent, corrosion, and stain-free connection.
