All Flex is a US manufacturer of specialty flex and rigid flex printed circuits, flexible heaters and value added assemblies. Flexible circuits (FPCs) and heaters have many advantages that make them useful in medical applications. Below are some of the key reasons our Medical customers are utilizing All Flex Solutions:

As a manufacturer's rep, PowerRep's main focus is connecting engineers with high quality and reliable manufacturers to ensure efficient collaboration and enable engineers to find the right manufacturing partners for their projects. As such, I’d like to share some insight on how All Flex Solutions is supporting customers in the medical industry.  

Below are some of the key reasons our Medical customers are utilizing All Flex Solutions: 

·  Design of Smaller Electronics - Flexible, compact and light weight, flexible circuits and heaters are a go-to solution for applications where space is a premium, allowing for more efficient use of available space.

·  Reduction of Complex Wiring -  FPCs are robust, reliable and they eliminate connection points, which simplifies assembly and reduces the chance of failure, EMI/RFI noise and yield issues, making them useful for real-time health monitoring.

·  Biocompatibility and Higher Autoclave Survivability -  The materials used in FPCs are biocompatible and can withstand high heat, making them suitable for a variety of internal medicine applications and for sterilization, 

·  Extended Length & Catheter Flex Circuits - Offering extended lengths up to 108” and trace and space down to 0.002 microns. All Flex CatheterFlex™ circuits eliminate the need for wires, greatly simplifying the entire manufacturing process for catheters used to diagnose and treat medical conditions

·  Highest Watt Density Heaters in the Industry - With temp range from -200C to 150C (and up to 260C), AllFlex provides highly customized polyimide and silicone rubber heaters that are engineered specifically to meet the overall physical, thermal and environmental requirements of each design.

 

Here are some examples of applications All Flex has worked on:

  • Medical Wearables

  • Implantable Medical Devices

  • Diagnostic & Medical Imaging Equipment 

  • Fluid Heating Applications

  • Robotic Surgery

  • Patient Monitoring Systems

  • Endoscopes, Catheters & Minimally Invasive Surgical Equipment
