In the realm of medical technology, where precision and innovation intersect, the quest for excellence becomes an unyielding pursuit. When dealing with the design of interconnect systems for the medical industry, the level of engineering attention and engagement required to develop a top performance product is very high.

Imagine designing interconnect systems for the medical industry—where every micron counts, especially in the domain of cardiac applications like catheters and electrophysiology mapping systems. The attention to detail required is staggering.

In fact, engineering companies working to support such a type of growing technological request have to embark on an extraordinary journey that pushed the boundaries of medical connectivity solutions to a whole new dimension. The global Electrophysiology market stands as a testament to this growing demand. Projections indicate a staggering Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of over 10% in the coming years. Factors like rising chronic diseases, an aging population, and the surge in minimally invasive surgeries are fuelling this remarkable expansion.

Amidst this landscape and thanks to a synergy among Engineering, Product Line Managers, and Sales teams Smiths Interconnect’s expertise can support such a challenging type of cutting-edge request to provide lightweight, flexible, and reliable, enduring numerous harsh sterilization cycles.

Challenges are aplenty, but so are the opportunities.

Smiths Interconnect’s journey in the medical market began a long time ago with the first design of circular, plastic, push-pull medical interconnect solutions and the further developments during the years aimed higher, pushing boundaries beyond expectations. The result? Connector and cable assembly solutions adapting themselves to the different customers’ request over the years to get to employ even miniature components such as tiny wires — essentially the size of a human hair. This not only met but exceeded expectations, paving the way for a lower cost per therapy option.

Smiths Interconnect's product offerings in the medical market (and particularly in the electrophysiology segment) stand as a beacon, illuminating the path for future endeavours and affirming our position as pioneers in cutting-edge medical connectivity solutions.
