Medical equipment enjoys a healthy start


( 01 Dec 2009 )

By Andy Kerr and John Sandy, TTi Europe

When it comes to medical applications for imaging, monitoring and patient care, the demands of connectors and passive components are varied. TTi Europe identified and supplied examples of each for applications as diverse as patient monitoring and therapeutic- or sterile-equipment protection, as well as supporting healthcare training. The availability of basic healthcare and sanitation throughout much of the world has created higher rates of survival through childhood and longer adult life expectancy. This has generated a boom in the population in many countries and an accelerating upward shift in the proportion of people surviving into older age.
