Smiths Interconnect Expands Its Product Offering for Medical Applications
Smiths Interconnect announced today the extension of its Hypergrip® connector series for the medical market with the addition of the new Hypergrip® Flex connectors.
Hypergrip® is a well-known, patented, and proven series of high-reliability circular connectors specifically designed for the medical industry. Thanks to its recognized market successes the Hypergrip series has established a strong reputation of reliability, versatility, and ease of use.
Not resting on its laurels, Smiths Interconnect has now enlarged the series with the Hypergrip Flex, ideal for most of the medical market applications including devices for patient monitoring, electrosurgical and endoscopic tools, catheters, home healthcare, and portable therapeutic applications.
"The new Hypergrip® Flex embeds all benefits of the existing Hypergrip® connector within a cost-effective design for standard cycle life applications,” says Mark Kelleher, VP and General Manager of the Connectors Business Unit at Smiths Interconnect. “Our advanced keying system allows customers to build connectors with six different keyed versions of the same standard connector reducing lead time and inventory”.
HyperGrip® Flex is designed to meet medical industry requirements such as finger-proofing to IEC60601, flammability rated to UL94 V0, and compliance with most sterilization methods.
