Medical Devices

Medical device companies partner with us to help them meet their challenging optical requirements for a variety of applications. Polymer optics offer advantages to device manufacturers such as:

• Low cost and lightweight
• Chemically stable and Non Toxic
• Flexible mechanical designs allow features such as mounting or positioning fiducials

Common applications include:

• OPTICAL COVERS
  Plastic covers for protecting samples while maintaining optical performance, specifically when working with microscopes.
• MEDICAL SENSING
  Polymer optics are used in applications such as Pulse Oximeters and Photoplethysmography (PPG) Sensors. Complex optical paths can be designed into a single molded component.
• POSITION/ FIDUCIAL MARKERS
  Flexible, biocompatible polymers can be used with a variety of imaging technologies such as time-of-flight tracking. Navigation markers, or retroreflectors are used for optical tracking in applications such as robotic surgery.
• ENDOSCOPES
  Switching to low-cost, lightweight, and contaminant-resistant polymer optics offers advantages in medical applications. Ideal for single-use applications, they enable new, sterile optics for each procedure, eliminating the need for autoclaving.
• IN-HOUSE EXPERTISE
  Let us guide you. Our engineers are highly experienced in designing for the best outcomes, performance and cost savings when it comes to medical device improvements.
