The parts that make up the whole in medical electronics require precision manufacturing. New England Wire Technologies (NEWT) makes custom medical cables to exacting specifications with FDA-grade ingredients for use in equipment such as EKG monitors, surgical lasers or digital imaging.
In medical applications that require large cables, flexibility of wire and insulation materials allows easier handling. Fine conductive materials ensure reliability in small and precise instrumentation. Well-researched manufacturing techniques mean lower signal noise, decreased rate of kinking and greater application of sizes as well as performance as in autoclave environments.
NEWT, as a leading medical cable manufacturer, has been making cable products for more than 100 years. Products include multiconductor cable for expanded life and flexibility, litz wire used to reduce loss of current, flat braided wire which is non-insulated, and custom assemblies. Their products apply to a wide range of devices such as pulse oximetry, EEG, defibrillators and surgical instruments. Their high temperature wire is used in nuclear and plasma products.
The company’s NEWtuf® cable is made for use in operating rooms and trauma centers. The wiring is designed to maintain three times the strength of a conventional silicone rubber-jacket cable.
New England Catheter Corporation is a subsidiary of NEWT that makes custom braid reinforced tubing for lining catheter shafts. The process uses multiple layers, polymer materials and can accommodate a variety of size specifications, including custom designs.
