Molex Inc. reinforced its commitment to innovative medical electronics with the expansion of its suite of MediSpec™ interconnect technologies and the recent acquisition of Affinity Medical Technologies LLC.  A subsidiary of Molex, Affinity Medical specializes in customized interconnects for next-generation healthcare devices.  Molex (booth 1344) will highlight electronic innovations for the medical industry at MD&M, October 31-November 1, Minneapolis, MN.

“Molex is committed to developing technologies that directly serve medical device manufacturers seeking design flexibility and product efficiency, which ultimately mean better patient care,” said Anthony Kalaijakis, medical strategic marketing manager, Molex.  “As a leader in the convergence of electronic product integration into medical applications, we have doubled down on efforts to advance development of technologies for patient monitoring, minimally invasive surgery, medication delivery and other highly specialized healthcare needs.”

In addition to Affinity Medical Technologies, the Molex booth will feature the recently released MediSpec Micro-Miniature Coiling (MMC).  Designed for device designers in cardiac rhythm management, pacemakers and defibrillators, as well as implantable neurological pain management and stimulation, MMC technology features a continuous length coil enabling extrusion of micro gauge (50 to 26 AWG class) wire at virtually infinite lengths.

Other Molex products on display at MD&M Minneapolis include:

  • Capacitive Fluid Level Sensors:  Ensuring precise fluid-level measurements and lower set-up costs, fluid level sensors easily mount to the outside of medical IV bags.  The sensor includes customized embedded software which can be configured for auto-calibration or manual calibration to maximize the accuracy.
