Disposable connector ideal for medical devices
8 August 2007
Interconnection
The new LUC (limited use connector) from Fischer, specifically designed for disposable medical devices, is a cost effective solution that does not compromise on quality.
The LUC offers multiple configurations and suits a wide array of applications, from catheters to surgical hand tools and more. The plug can either be directly mounted into a disposable hand piece, or overmoulded with the user’s own choice of mould. Both configurations are easily customisable and are ideal for compact designs. A third option is to mount the plug to a disposable cable, either with a one-piece back shell for simple and economic designs or a two-piece back shell with snap lock design for easy assembly. The two-piece back shell model offers additional features such as an ergonomic rubber grip, standard colours plus custom colour options and space to easily accommodate embedded electronics that could for instance disable the connector at a preset number of uses. Parts are capable of withstanding EtO and Gamma sterilisation processes, conforming with the requirements of the UL/IEC 60601 directives.
The LUCs are mateable with all Fischer panel and cable receptacles, providing compatibility between disposable devices and permanent equipment with high cycle lifetime receptacles. Accepting a maximum cable diameter of 8,7 mm, the LUC is available from 2 to 19 pins with solder or crimp contacts.
