The Medical Future of Surgical Tubing Fittings & Connectors
The surgical equipment industry is quickly growing thanks to the development of advanced, minimally invasive technology and equipment. Trends driving growth include:
- The growing geriatric population across the globe and need for minimally invasive procedures. According to the CDC statistics, around 60% of all surgical procedures were performed on people aged 45 years and above.
- Miniaturized and specialized surgery equipment and robotic and power-assisted systems are becoming more complex while ensuring better patient outcomes.
- Handheld instruments and vision systems continue to improve — allowing increasingly complex surgeries to be done through less invasive procedures.
These trends require that surgical equipment is designed with fluid management components that maximize the safety of the patient. Tubing connectors used in surgical devices must be compatible with the physical, chemical and biological environment of the operating room.
On top of these requirements, surgical tubing connectors, fittings, and couplings must prevent misconnections while being easy to use. CPC provides a wide variety of dental, medical and surgical tubing fitting solutions that help enable advancing designs ensuring they are easy to use and highly reliable.
