A medical device manufacturer encountered reliability issues with its existing surgical scalpel cable design.
During end-user operation, some cable failures occurred after several months of use. After investigation, the primary failure point was identified as conductor breakage caused by repeated mechanical stress.
To improve product reliability and extend service life, the customer required a more durable cable solution with enhanced bending performance.
The customer required:
Surgical equipment cables often experience frequent bending, twisting and movement during operation.
The main challenge was to improve mechanical durability while maintaining:
A simple increase in conductor size could improve strength but would reduce flexibility and affect device integration.
Hotten’s engineering team analyzed the failed cable samples and identified the key failure mechanism.
Based on the analysis results, we optimized the cable structure through:
Multiple prototype samples were produced and verified through bending performance tests.
After improvement and verification:
The successful improvement demonstrated Hotten’s capability in developing reliable customized cable solutions for medical devices requiring high flexibility and long-term durability.
