Where Can Flexible PCB be Used in Medical Devices?

Flexible PCB has the advantages of space saving design, light weight and cost saving. Moreover, it can reduce the usage amount of routing by 75% and the cost of electrical interconnection by 70%. These advantages make them suitable for high-precision medical device. So where can flexible PCB be used in medical device?

Medical device screens: The transfer cables on the medical equipment screens are all flexible PCBs, which are not only used for medical treatment, but also flexible PCBs are used for transfer cables on the screen displays of almost all equipment, , which is an affirmation of flexible PCBs.

Medical device buttons: Flexible PCBs are widely used in buttons, because flexible PCBs have good flexibility.

B-scan ultrasonography: B-ultrasound is a super strong signal flow penetrating the human body to perform a perspective of the inside of the human body. The flexible PCB with electronic components can accurately transmit the signal, and the signal screen frequency can be adjusted to an appropriate level, so as to realize the signal video transmission.

Surgical tools: Surgical tools include screwdrivers, electronic saws and electrocautery scissors, which are used to clamp and close blood vessels during surgery.

Implantable medical devices: Implantable medical devices include cochlear implants, pacemakers, neurological implants and defibrillators. These medical devices require microscopic objects such as chips to be implanted into the human body through surgical operations. Flexible PCB is used because the products has extremely high durability, reliability, light weight and compact size.

Non-implantable medical devices: These devices are usually worn or attached to the patient's skin.

Diagnostic equipment: X-rays, ultrasound scans, CT scans, MRI and other types of equipment help detect and diagnose different health problems.

Monitoring Device: Monitoring devices include portable or wearable electronic devices, which are used to monitor blood glucose rate, heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure.
