Best Coatings for Medical Devices

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Nov 6, 2020

Parylene is a polymeric material that is commonly applied as a conformal coating layer in electronic applications. Parylene conformal coatings are used to provide environmental and/or dielectric isolation. They offer pinhole-free layers with low water permeability, high flexibility and high mechanical strength (see table). While parylene coatings are most frequently applied onto the electronic cir

Parylene (XY — poly(para-xylylene)) organic polymers are highly regarded through a wide range of industries – aerospace/defense, automotive, commercial, industrial, medical – for their utility as conformal coatings.  Chemically inert, colorless, linear/polycrystalline and optically clear, XY coatings provide exceptional barrier protection, dielectric reliability, and insulation for prin

Parylene for Medical Sensors

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Sep 28, 2018

Many medical devices rely on sensors to detect and measures conditions affecting patient health.  Generally, physical properties within the body – heartbeat, blood pressure, breath rate, temperature, — are recorded and transmitted to medical personnel/technology, allowing continuous physiological monitoring of health-specific disorders, to improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment.
