It is a challenge for the manufacturer of instrumentsthat are required in medical fields. It must be of perfect shape and size that fits the place in human body where it is intended to be used. Devices that are inserted into the body by any means, for example say by cathedrals or by small miniature implants or you can say by any other means which requires minimal invasion.
For this demands the manufactures are also trying to reduce the size of the instruments that are used in medical fields. If the process of miniaturization is not obtained then it will be a big problem to reach certain places of a body. The benefits associated with the miniaturization is that it minimizes the amount of disruption, aids to regular body function, it also consumes less power, and the life line of the implanted component is also increased. As there are huge challenges imposed on the manufacturing companies due to the necessity of miniaturization of medical instruments, some companies have developed certain design of coils such as mini coils or miniature coils or nano coils and they were based on ultra fine wire that connects the next miniature component magnificently.
Capabilities of Miniature Coils
Miniature coil winding are made up of copper wires that can led down up to as much as low as finest manufacturing size of 59 AWG or you can say up to 9 microns or 0.009 mm. The miniature coils are designed as per the requirements of the client. Whether it is geometric shape or size or its electromagnetic nature. The point to be noted is a typical micro coil winding can be as small as that of a head of a needle.
It is a challenge to connect magnificently fined insulated wires with serially manufactured diameter to other magnificently fined wire or wires to 3 -4 times as thick. Some companies has achieved this milestone and completed their task with the new innovation known as Thermo Pressure Bonding technology. In this type of technology there is an assurance of high reliability, corrosion less and stain less connectivity. In this type of coil winding design there is no need for any micro soldering. This in turn lowers the manufacturing costs to a great extent and the circuit that is obtained is much more simplified then the previous circuit.
What are the Benefits of Combining Micro Coil Winding with sensors?
There are several benefits if you combine micro coil winding with sensors. They are:
- You can easily monitor the implants, transfer the controls, you can also log data from and to the implants.
- You can also transfer energy to implants that require charging of batteries.
- Radiating of energy is also possible which is required for RF or heat treatment.
Some of the applications of Micro Coil Winding Design
- Wireless Diagnostics
- Controlling of Pace makers and brain stimulation components
- Also used in therapy purpose
- It is also used for navigation like where there is a need for delivery of drugs, targeted point of radiation, positioning of stents, tagging inside the body, endoscopy and many more.
To sum up with it is definitely worthy to say that micro coil winding designs has given a new shape and dimension to the medical instruments used.
