Cardiologists see potential in smaller-diameter catheters for less invasive procedures and easier navigation of complex vascular pathways. At the same time, they look for precise, high-resolution imaging for safer and more effective insertions and investigations. And like all critical medical devices, cardiovascular catheters need to perform consistently, without failure.
To improve upon cardiac catheter design, engineers require compact connectors that minimize the size and weight of the device without sacrificing performance; high-efficiency optical fibers and waveguides to transmit light with minimal loss and heat generation; and in-parallel, low-power electronics with advanced power management integrated circuits (ICs) to conserve battery life.
Molex delivers high-density interconnect solutions, advanced optical fibers and low-power electronic designs that make these improvements possible. The precise impedance matching and high-quality materials in Molex connectivity solutions help to realize new levels of signal integrity, advancing miniaturization, imaging resolution and the overall reliability of cardiac catheter systems.
