Improving Motion Control in Medical Devices

In medical equipment, viscous damping greases or gels can smooth operation, eliminate noise, and reduce the impact of environmental factors. Damping products provide appropriate viscous drag on moving parts in order to control motion and minimize free-motion problems. This stress resistance can also prevent backlash, stick-slip, coasting, or undesirable vibration.

Benefits of Motion Control Grease in Medical Applications

A special class of medical applications that utilize viscous damping gels, includes a wide range of disposable and reusable devices such as pumps, hand-held injectors or inhalers, for drug or implant delivery. These devices rely on our products to lubricate parts, absorb shock, quiet mechanisms, and control dose delivery rate. A viscous damping gel or lubricant can also help ensure complete dose delivery while optimizing the feel and sound of the device. The result is enhancement of functionality, quality, and usability, thus leading to higher patient compliance, lower risk, and better treatment outcomes.

Nye has access to a broad range of formulation technologies, and collaborates with designers and their partners in complete confidence to develop the optimal solution.
