.................................................................................................................................................................................................................... New Releases
.................................................................................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Bioconnect neuro-leads with disc electrodes are now available in Silicone jacketed wires
Tangle resistant, high conduction wires used in silicone and non-silicone products have multi-stranded center conductors for maximum flexibility
and low signal loss. The Bioconnect silicone jacket is medical grade silicone with a low durometer to maintain high flexibility of the leads.
Silicone is the Gold Standard in material choice in busy clinics relying on high use potential leads. Silicone jackets have a longer use life
than other jacketing materials, saving money over long term use. Silicone is virtually impervious to most solvents found in hospital environments, yet is comfortable when in contact with the patient.
Ten color options are available
Recessed touch proof sockets molded over gold plated 1.5mmBeCu spring contacts
Gold plated, 10mm disc electrodes
Tangle-resistant easy-clean jacketed wires with flexible strain relief at both ends
IEC 60601-1 compliant for patient safety
Bioconnect products meet ANSI/AAMI EC53 specifications. All phases of manufacture from tool and mold design to product fabrications using precision solder, ultrasonic welding and insert molding techniques are preformed in our San Diego production facility.
Bioconnect is a division of RF Industries (NASDAQ RFIL) a leading supplier of connecting solutions provided through the operating divisions: RF Connectors, RF Cable Assembly, Aviel Electronics, RF Neulink, RadioMobile and Worswick/OddCables.

Santoprene Thermal plastics offer advantages for molded cable assemblies in medical applications
Bioconnect uses Santoprene as a primary molding material and outer insulation material in all of their standard ECG products. Santoprene is a thermal plastic compound that is processed in much the same way as any type of plastic. The difference is that Santoprene possesses the same levels of flexibility and durability that are commonly found with natural rubber compounds. Santoprene is latex free and hypoallergenic to patients. It has a very soft, yet supple feel, resulting in a pleasant contact with the skin. It is abrasion resistant and does not get slippery when exposed to many fluids.
Santoprene is also impervious to most solvents that would be commonly used in the hospital, clinic, and emergency medicine environments. The positive traits of Santoprene also make it a primary component in the fabrication of medical devices to be used in the home environment, such as event recorder cables and exercise and therapy equipment. The choice of Santoprene in the cable jacketing and overmolding materials creates a very solid bond between cables, yoke and flex reliefs. This increases the products life and helps eliminate places for contaminants and biologics to hide.
Santoprene can also be sterilized using most common methods, including gamma radiation, steam and EtO. Santoprene is also easily recycled. After products made with Santoprene have seen better days, the same material can be reprocessed and molded into new products. This easily recycled substance helps eliminate unwanted items ending up in landfills.
Because of the many desirable characteristics of Santoprene, Bioconnect also promotes its use in most of its OEM products that have medical applications, along with automotive and household products.
