Molex Subsidiary Temp-Flex™ Showcases MediSpec™ Micro Extrusion Primary Wires At MD&M West

LISLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Temp-Flex™LLC, a subsidiary of Molex Incorporated will showcase its MediSpec™ micro extrusion primary wires at the Molex booth 1983 at MD&M West, February 12-14, Anaheim Convention Center, CA. Designed to meet tight tolerance requirements for invasive and implantable applications in the medical industry, Temp-Flex MediSpec™ micro extrusion primary wires deliver optimal reliability down to 52 AWG in a wide range of biocompatible conductor materials.

“Designers and makers of surgically implanted medical devices require leads made of primary wires that meet stringent design requirements and reliability standards”

“Designers and makers of surgically implanted medical devices require leads made of primary wires that meet stringent design requirements and reliability standards,” states Peter Evans, General Manager, Temp-Flex. “Biocompatible insulated Temp-Flex MediSpec primary wires undergo an innovative extrusion process that results in superior dielectric integrity compared to other technologies.”

The primary wires feature a range of gauges (36-52 AWG) and a wide selection of materials to support design customization. The precision extrusion process used in manufacturing Temp-Flex MediSpec micro extrusion primary wires ensures uniform insulation wall thickness and accurate concentricity. Encapsulating the wire within a consistent wall coating, the resulting pin-hole free wire offers superior reliability over similar products with emulsion and dispersion coatings which are susceptible to cracking. The chemically inert insulation is impervious to surgical fluids and ensures biocompatibility in a human body.

Temp-Flex MediSpec primary wires are the foundation for MediSpec Micro Miniature Coils. Now available in insulation wall thicknesses down to 0.008 mm, MediSpec micro extrusion primary wires are designed for neurological, cochlear and other implantable applications, in addition to minimally invasive endoscopes and catheters, and for use in cardio rhythm management devices including pacemakers and defibrillators.

“Pin-hole free MediSpec primary wires deliver precision electrical functionality and biocompatibility – an ideal solution for customers developing densely packaged surgically implantable leads in a variety of medical applications,” adds Evans.

The MediSpec portfolio supports medical device manufacturers by delivering the latest interconnect technologies for maximum product efficiency, reliability and flexibility.
