Medical Wearables
Medical wearables are increasingly designed with patient comfort and functionality in mind, reflecting a profound understanding of the needs of those they serve. These devices are engineered to be highly flexible, allowing them to conform effortlessly to the contours of the human body. At the core of our design philosophy is the use of advanced material stack-ups that transcend the limitations of traditional flexible electronics, enabling a selection of materials that can stretch and adapt to the body’s natural movements.
Our state-of-the-art roll-to-roll (R2R) process enhances our manufacturing capabilities, facilitating the high-volume production of these innovative devices. This method is particularly effective in ensuring continuous production, crucial for meeting the growing demand for medical wearables. The roll-to-roll system allows for the efficient and cost-effective scaling of output while maintaining the high quality and precision required in medical device manufacturing.
A cornerstone of our technological advancement is the patented Wire-Write® Technology. This unique additive manufacturing technique allows for the precise placement of conductive materials directly onto flexible substrates. By integrating Wire-Write® Technology, we can produce highly customized wearable devices that include complex electronic circuits without traditional etching or deposition processes. This capability not only reduces material waste but also enhances the functionality and durability of the end products.
Our additive manufacturing techniques further expand our ability to work with various materials beyond traditional substrates. We can now manufacture medical wearables using paper, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and cloth. Each material is carefully selected to ensure optimal performance and comfort in medical applications. The flexibility offered by additive manufacturing allows for rapid prototyping and iteration, enabling our engineers to refine designs quickly based on real-world feedback and testing.
The integration of these technologies—roll-to-roll manufacturing, Wire-Write® Technology, and versatile additive manufacturing—positions us uniquely in the wearable market. We can precisely meet specific medical application requirements, creating wearables that are functional, comfortable, and tailored to the particular needs of healthcare providers and patients alike.
As we continue to advance our manufacturing processes and expand our material capabilities, our commitment to innovation remains focused on enhancing patient care. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and engineering best practices, we are setting new standards in the medical wearables industry, promising a future where healthcare is more accessible, effective, and integrated into patients’ everyday lives.
