Comfort NX // A new ergonomic cable for ultrasound imaging

15 mins

 

According to a 2018 report issued by the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, a staggering 90% of clinical sonographers experience symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders. Many of the probes, connectors and cables used by clinical sonographers are bulky and heavy in nature, a potential factor contributing to these instances of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. At TE Connectivity, our engineers believe that you don’t need a heavy, bulky imaging cable to provide high-quality reliable performance. During this webinar, Eugene Mayevskiy Principle Engineer will discuss COMFORT NX, TE's newest ergonomic cable design for medical ultrasound imaging.

Intrasense // Increased clinical data with micro-invasive pressure sensor

20 mins

 

As minimally invasive equipment becomes smaller and smarter, there is a need to enable direct pressure monitoring anywhere in the anatomy. Today, most surgical equipment either doesn’t have a pressure sensing function, or the pressure measurement is driven from an external sensor, causing interference and critical time delays in measurement. A low-profile solution TE Connectivity’s IntraSense sensor enables existing equipment to become smaller for applications such as single-use endoscopes, diagnostic catheters, and needles. Learn more about its easy integration, comprehensive design and biocompatibility in our 30 minute on demand webinar.
