Our custom-engineered products enable designers to achieve higher speeds, longer service life, and more functionality in less space. Products for Medical Bal Conn® Electrical Contact Our Bal Conn® electrical contact is the solution of choice for designers seeking to ensure consistent connection in implantable devices used to deliver neuromodulation and cardiac therapies. Due to its redundant contact points, the Bal Conn offers very low contact resistance. Its canted coils provide excellent resistance to fatigue and more design flexibility than any other implantable device interconnect technology.

We also contributed to IS-4 requirements for non-set screw connection systems. Pioneering Therapies When makers of the implantable alfapump® needed to boost battery life and guard against leakage, a Bal Seal® made it possible. Today, the device is helping ascites patients all over the world live more comfortably. Making More Connections Neuromodulation devices have been shrinking as demand for functionality grows. Our Bal Conn®, with its reduced axial pitch and sizes down to .020 in., lets designers build smaller devices that do more. Medical Customer Successes “With the addition of a Bal Seal® to our alfapump® design, we were able to reduce power consumption by 40% and extend battery life by 20%.” Thomas Degen, CTO Sequana Medical “In the Minuteman®, the Bal Spring® enabled us to precisely control force when deploying the extension plates to lock and unlock the plunger.” Douglas Snell, Engineering Director Spinal Simplicity “We considered flexure springs, screws, O-rings, and magnets. Ultimately, the Bal Spring® canted coil spring provided the functionality we needed.” Bo Gao, Ph.D., R&D Manager, Knees Exactech, Inc.
