Bio compatible medical cables

Besides the flexibility and a perfect cleaning characteristics, reliability for to a long service life, low weight and a non stick cable surface are often required, as is  approval to American standards

Cable manufacturer, SAB Bröckskes, has succeeded in fulfiling all these requirements with SABmed S. All types are bio compatible to EN ISO 10993-5 and offer best characteristics with regard to notch resistance. Nearly every cable type in or at medical devices can be manufactured with this material compound. Also single cores, interfaces for bus systems (as for example CAT5 up to CAT7, RS232, USB, etc.), power cables or cables for hand-held equipment can be offered.

At present  the SABmed S range includes:

• SABmed S Classic - the typical basic material with high notch and tear propagation strength and high flexibility has proved itself in and at medical devices.
• SABmed S Ultraflexible - as the name implies the special characteristic of this material is the comfortable smoothness that offers highest mobility to the user.
• SABmed S UL - for the first time SAB succeeded to produce a compound of the SABIX R med material range with UL approval. This provides the opportunity to use UL approved cables for medical devices in the complete low volt range.
• SABmed S Platin - “non blooming” implies that decomposition products do not appear on the cable sheath. This is already reduced to the minimum for all SABIX R med materials but for this special compound, however, the blooming effect is completely avoided.

Additional new products are already possible in small quantities – especially relevant for small and pilot productions.
