Medical / Rehabilitation - FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technology, Inc. - #1

Futek offers a variety of standard sensors for medical industry applications such as: automated drug delivery control sys­tems, infusion pump control, fluid / medical bag weighing, sterilization systems, and rehab equipment. Below are some of the miniaturized, submergible, cryogenic, ROHS compliant, and MRI compatible sensors that make challenges more feasible to overcome in this demanding market. Custom sensors can also be provided for new research projects as well.

1. Dentistry / Neck Sensor Customized 4 channel sensor to measure forces applied during jaw relocation while pushing the head down into neck or all sides. Helps minimize forces during operation.

2. Blood Transfusion Management Systems & Kidney Dialysis (Pg. 13) OEM type load cell Model LSM250 & 300 with overload protection available from 100 gram to 500 lbs capacity for bag weighing applications.

3. Carpel Tunnel

This very specialized 3 integrated load cells are used in assessing a wide

range of Neuromuscular and skeletal disorders

4. Pinch Test AND Hand Gripper

Utilized in many rehabilitation programs to determine the severity of the injury, as well as the speed of recovery. Helps identify hand pains.

5. Tendon & Ligament Transducer

Special miniature version of the S-Beam type is used to measure tensional forces of tendons and ligaments during surgical procedures. Some special

types are also implanted to measure forces and provide feedback.

6. Ophthalmology (Pg. 9-10)

Small load button type or force sensors used in Ophthalmology systems

during critical operations to control applied forces on the sharp blade.

7. Fluid Weighing & Drug Delivery System (Pg. 11-13)

Sbeam Jr. & LSM series widely used for this type of OEM application.

8. Orthopedic AND Joint Stimulator

Load cells similar to LCF series are widely used for endurance testing of artificial / implant Knee or hip joints in the "Load Soak Station system" or other medical simulator. See pg. 8

9. Guide Wire Torque Verification

FUTEK's very low capacity 5 In-oz TFF400 with a digital display as a system is used to verify the torque in guide wire. See pg. 15

Available from 100 grams to 40 lbs. Used in instrumentations such as infusion pumps.

A very flexible beam that can be used in ten­sion or bending.
