Medical device technology heats up
Abstract:
Examples of heater assemblies for medical applications include: 1. Syringe heater; 2. Polyimide flexible heaters; 3. Hematology analyzer heater; and 4. ULTRAMIC advanced ceramic heaters. Hypothermia is a condition where body temperature falls below 35°C (95°F) and normal bodily functions are unable to take place. In stage-two hypothermia, shivering becomes more violent and muscle mis-coordination occurs. This condition would obviously be difficult for a healthy person, but it could be highly stressful for a patient receiving medical care and testing. Injecting fluids into a patient at room temperature and in post-operative recovery can reduce body temperature. Ideally, medical practitioners want perfect conditions for patient recovery and therefore have been paying close attention to optimum temperature in new medical device designs.
