Calmont has been designing and manufacturing medical cables for over 50 years. We understand the challenges that are unique to the medical industry and work closely with our customers to provide quality products that exceed expectations. Calmont also manufactures medical tubing, cables with lumens and complex designs to your specifications.

Applications
Medical cables differ from other industries due to specialized requirements which include lumens, biocompatibility and sterilization procedures. We take these factors in to account when designing medical cables.
Applications requiring custom wire and cable include:

Sterilization
Insulation and jacket materials must be able to withstand the sterilization process. It is important to understand what type of sterilization the wire or cable will undergo. It is important to discuss the sterilization with your cable manufacture when designing a cable in order to choose the correct materials. Types of sterilization include:

Biocompatibility
Custom cables can be manufactured with medical grade materials. Different grades are available for different types of use. Knowing the extent of patient contact is important. Calmont's engineers can assist you with determining which medical grade materials are needed for your application.

Disposable and Reusable Cables
By definition, disposable cables are intended for one time or limited use. Minimizing cost, while performing its intended function is of primary importance. PVC and PE are the insulations most commonly used. Shields when needed are spiral or aluminized Mylar. Reusable medical cables are built to endure constant flexing and extended cycles of sterilization. Using Teflon®, TPE or silicone rubber with TPR or silicone jackets are commonly used for these types of applications.
