Medical cable mainly refers to the medical equipment or rescue cable used for patient operation, treatment and monitoring. According to the medical grade used, it can be divided into blood transfusion grade, invasive surgery, non-invasive monitoring, internal use of medical equipment, etc. Different use grades have different requirements for materials. So what are the requirements of medical cables for materials?
Overall requirements of medical cables for materials:
Economic benefits: The cost requirements for products vary according to the number of times of use.
Durability: elasticity and reliability, wear resistance, resistance to sharp stretching, scratch resistance, torsion resistance, etc.
Sterilization requirements: suitable for EtO (ethylene oxide), high-pressure disinfection, low-temperature treatment, CIDEX (glutaraldehyde) immersion, IPA (isopropanol) wiping, etc.
Electrical performance requirements: resistance and capacitance requirements, electromagnetic compatibility (RFI/EMI), voltage resistance, noise test, etc.
The overall requirements of medical cable for materials will be introduced here first. With mild detergent or industrial sterilization, medical cable components can be durable and can resist frequent washing. In addition, the medical cable components are carefully designed to resist chemicals, radiation, vibration, high pressure, humidity and changing temperature, and can also withstand corrosion, humidity, UV, abrasion, impact, etc.
