Induction heating application cases by industry: Medical devices
Precise and clean non-contact heating! Introducing examples of high-frequency induction heating applications in medical device manufacturing.
We would like to introduce examples of the application of induction heating in the manufacturing of medical devices. Induction heating, which heats small areas with pinpoint accuracy and without contact, is suitable for the medical field where precision and cleanliness (sterility) are particularly required, such as in the processing of catheter tips, welding of injection needles, brazing of small fixtures, annealing, and the welding of metals to plastics. 【Typical Medical Applications [Heating Temperature/Time] Examples】 ■ Annealing in inert gas (steel tube): 1093°C / 15 seconds ■ Adhesion (plastic handle of surgical scalpel): 232°C / 2 seconds ■ Brazing (medical heat sensor probe): 704°C / 60 seconds ■ Hardening (steel surgical scalpel): 1093°C / 2 seconds ■ Heating and forming (steel mandrel (Teflon tube)): 371°C / 2.7 seconds ■ Plastic reflow (catheter tube): 121°C / 3.5 seconds *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
