By: Northwire Medical Design Briefs: Tech Briefs focuses on design and technological advancements in the area of medical manufacturing innovation. As part of this mission, the publication seeks out industry leaders and R&D professionals to contribute articles, white papers, videos, and other resources to educate and inform readers. This is the second consecutive year that the magazine has asked Northwire to provide an article highlighting the next-generation medical cable and wire solutions. This year, Kevin DePratter, PMPĀ® and Northwire's Director of R&D, lent forty- two years of industry expertise to the article titled, "Silicone's History - and Future - in Medical Manufacturing." As silicone has many proven advantages, it is often viewed as the traditional go-to material for coating cables used in implantable medical devices, surgical tools and more. However, medical-grade silicone jacketed cable can be costly to produce, and most silicone suppliers require long lead times. Combined with Northwire's materials science and industry expertise, recent technology enables field-proven silicone alternatives featuring more robust resistance to crush, cut and chemicals. Options for medical device cable materials such as Northwire's BioCompatic are quickly growing. Leading the shift and meeting customers' demands, Northwire is currently working on BioCompatic's product family extension to serve the next phase of unique engineering requirements of medical device design.
