POWERED SURGICAL DEVICES Recommended Solutions Today’s most challenging arthroscopic procedures require power, speed and efficiency. • 12.7 mm diameter brushless slotted Additionally, they need to be able to withstand repeated saline exposure. Portescap motors motors for micro shavers and soft tissue provide high torque in a lightweight package, quickly responding to variations in patient removal tissue and bone to maintain optimum speed for precise cutting without stalling. • 16.51 mm diameter brushless slotted motors for shavers and bone resection Capable of providing maximum power...

POWERED SURGICAL DEVICES Whether it’s a partial knee-joint reconstruction, a total hip replacement or an osteotomy on a large bone, orthopaedic applications demand high power in a lightweight package. Portescap custom-wound 9.6v-14.4v battery-powered brushless motors are designed to maximize torque for the toughest cases, while maintaining the highest efficiency to power through surgeries on a single battery charge. Coupled to a gearhead, these motors allow surgeons to drive reaming attachments, large K-wire and Steinmann pins with ease. Custom hollow-shaft geared motor designs enable the creation...

POWERED SURGICAL DEVICES Surgical Staplers Modern surgical stapling is now powered to allow surgeons to perform smooth, reduced-firing-force, one handed-operations. Portescap’s compact sterilizable brushless motors power the complex sequenced motion of jaw closing, staple engagement and tissue cutting in reusable surgical staplers for minimal impact to surrounding tissue. High-efficiency brushless motors operate on a single battery charge and power through extra thick tissue, while their reduced size allows for a lightweight design and clear visual access to the surgical site. Lower sterilizable...

As hospitals release patients sooner than ever to convalesce in the comfort of their own homes, the need for portable ventilators has never been greater. Our highly efficient slotless brushless motors allow manufacturers to reduce blower size while achieving all the necessary pressure and flow. Providing faster step function response, Portescap brushless slotless motors enable more comfortable bi-level operating modes that improve therapy acceptance for chronic patients, as well as a volume-controlled mode for invasive life-support applications. These quiet, reliable and highly efficient motors...

MEDICATION AND NUTRIENTS DELIVERY SYSTEMS Clinicians and patients rely on pumps for safe and accurate administration of nutrients and medications. Along with the ability to continuously deliver fluids in flows ranging from a few milliliters per hour to a liter per hour, pumps can also deliver these solutions in a repetitive, precise and pressure-controlled manner. Portescap solutions allow the design of smaller ambulatory systems, ever more precise and capable of operating on battery powered for longer periods of time. Miniature encoders allow for accurate and repetitive dispensing of pain medication,...

Each year, more patients switch from manual injection to continuous monitoring and delivery of fast-acting insulin, thanks to battery-operated pumping systems that are more comfortable and convenient than ever. Portescap’s compact and efficient motors, gearheads and custom solutions allow pumping systems to be smaller and safer, while operating longer on standard commercial batteries. High resolution feedback controls accurate delivery of insulin down to micro units for continuous delivery, as well as monitor highly responsive DC Brushed and Brushless motors during a rapid bolus to compensate...

LIFE SCIENCE Used in molecular biology, analytical chemistry and many medical tests, electronic pipettes allow for accurate and repeatable delivery of samples and reagents while reducing the risk of repetitive strain injury. Portescap’s compact, efficient solutions allow electronic pipettes to be more ergonomic and to dispense faster and for a longer period of time before recharging. Integral linear actuation systems simplify and accelerate the design of new-generation handheld devices, while their superior actuation force allows for a wider range and larger volume of substances to be dispensed...
