Overview
Endoscopic and minimally invasive surgical devices require extremely fine, flexible cabling that transmits video and control signals through narrow scopes without compromising image quality.
Design & Construction
Micro-Coax Video Signal Cable
Micro-coaxial cable bundles carry high-resolution video signals from scope-tip cameras with minimal signal loss across long, narrow-diameter cable runs.
Ultra-Flexible, Torque-Resistant Sheathing
Low-friction, ultra-flexible sheathing allows scopes to navigate tight anatomical paths while resisting kinking and torque-induced signal degradation.
Manufacturing Process
Assembled in an ISO 13485-certified cleanroom environment with 100% signal integrity testing, supporting endoscope and minimally invasive device OEMs through design validation and volume production.
Typical Applications
- Endoscope camera signal cabling
- Laparoscopic instrument control wiring
- Surgical robot end-effector cabling
- Light source and illumination fiber wiring
- Insufflation sensor interconnects
Common installations include Endoscope camera signal cabling, Laparoscopic instrument control wiring, and Surgical robot end-effector cabling, where biocompatibility, electrical safety, and continuous fail-safe operation are the primary design drivers. The same base design can also be adapted for Light source and illumination fiber wiring and Insufflation sensor interconnects with minor changes to connector type or cable length.
