The need for a disposable solution that maintains the premium look, reliability, regulatory compliance, and ease of use of the HyperGrip® connector series has driven Smiths Interconnect to develop disposable Hypergrip® receptacles that maintain current electrical performance with limited cycle life and environmental tolerance (up to 30 mating cycles). The disposable configurations of the Hypergrip series embed all benefits of the existing versatile Hypergrip® Series within a cost-effective design for single or few-use applications.
Limited and single-use connections for medical devices are a growing area of need. In recent times, there has been an increasing focus on developing connectors that are safe, reliable, and cost-effective for single use applications. This has been motivated by the need to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and improve hygiene in medical environments.
