In the research, development, and small-batch production of medical devices, the connection cables in the visible area pose a particular challenge. They need to simultaneously meet multiple requirements such as the number of core wires, outer diameter, outer sheath color, and sliding performance.
However, such small-volume demands often come with a high minimum order quantity. Moreover, off-the-shelf cables usually hardly match the specially designed device colors. Orders for small tolerance lengths or stocking frequently result in a large amount of unnecessary inventory backlog.
Minimum order quantity can be reduced to 100m.
SAB has its own materials department. The materials independently developed and produced by us can meet various special requirements of different customers.
Biocompatibility complies with EN ISO 10993-1 standard (cytotoxicity complies with EN ISO 10993-5 standard), and corresponding certificates can be provided.
The color of the outer sheath can be adapted to the device, providing users with a harmonious visual perception.
It features ultra-high flexibility, anti-slip, anti-kinking, and sufficient torsional resistance for hand-held medical cables.
If customers have special requirements, we can provide wiring harness processing services (see detailed explanation below).
For example: A cross-section of a specially customized cable we can provide.
Cable type: Special hybrid cable, SABmed S outer sheath (silicone rubber-based material, smooth surface, high flexibility, high temperature resistance, autoclave sterilization at +134 °C, UL certified).
Application in endoscopic equipment.
Cable and Wiring Harness Solutions in the Medical Field
The connection cables of medical devices have strict usage requirements, such as device cleaning, sterilization, or hand-held operation. A well-thought-out connection solution can reliably fit the special applications of the device.
Medical cables made of SABmed T, a highly flexible and smooth-surfaced material, offer a better touch feeling than conventional thermoplastic materials.
If the medical cable requires UL certification, SABmed UL material can be used. With the platinum cross-linked variant as the base material, the cable simultaneously has ultra-high flexibility and a non-sticking surface.
Secondary molded connectors and shrink tubes can be combined with almost all cables corresponding to SABmed Line materials to form a complete wiring solution.
During the product development process of medical device manufacturers, SAB can provide an integrated plug-and-play solution while maintaining close communication with customers and always ensuring a high degree of design freedom for them.
For example: A typical hand-held medical device.
SAB offers a complete set of wiring harness processing services, which are highly flexible, wear-resistant, smooth-surfaced, and have certain anti-torsional properties.
