Sorbothane Works…Protects Medical Device During Speeding Car Test
When a leading manufacturer of medical devices needed a superior shock absorber to protect its infusion pump unit, they turned to Sorbothane®. A Sorbothane®, gasket-type isolator was engineered to protect the LCD on the new infusion pump from drop shock damage. In addition to the usual battery of tests, the unit was thrown from a car traveling at 45 MPH. It survived, unharmed and fully operational, thanks to the shock absorbing qualities of Sorbothane®. The Sorbothane® gasket also works as a seal that prevents fluid infiltration to the pump’s command and control module.
Sorbothane®, a proprietary material, is widely recognized for its superior damping and isolation properties. Its behavior mimics that of human flesh. Sorbothane® is a visco-elastic material; a solid that flows like a liquid. It is easily cast into custom shapes and can be die and water jet cut.
