Microcomponents are indispensable for obtaining reliable values regarding temperature, radiation or pressure or for driving the smallest pumps. Medical technology applications would therefore be inconceivable without them. Find out at virtual.COMPAMED 2020 what innovations are available in this area!

Small technology, big performance – sensors

Small technology that achieve great performance: Sensors. Without them, many automated processes could not be taken over by technical devices. But what requirements are they subject to and how can we ensure that they do not fail? Have a look in our video.

Sensor technology: sensitive spatula protects the brain

Brain surgery is arguably the most complex procedure in the operating room as surgeons can quickly cause unintentional damage. The culprit are not just surgical cuts (incisions) a surgeon needs to actively make, but might also be passively used instruments. This includes spatula-like retractors used to manipulate tissue and/or hold it in place.
