The digitalization of healthcare is driving an unprecedented surge in connected and wearable medical devices. From continuous glucose monitors to portable defibrillators, the reliability of these instruments depends on their ability to operate without error in electromagnetically crowded environments (hospitals, smart homes, urban areas). In this scenario, EMI shielding is not just a regulatory requirement but a critical element for patient safety.
Lightweight and Flexible Shielding for Compact Devices
Modern biomedical devices, often featuring miniaturized designs and plastic enclosures, require shielding solutions that are neither too rigid nor too heavy. Fabric-over-Foam gaskets are the ideal solution due to:
- High Shielding Effectiveness: Providing excellent protection against RFI/EMI interference across a broad frequency spectrum.
- Low Compression Set: Perfect for thin or sensitive plastic housings where excessive pressure could damage internal components or compromise the device’s aesthetics.
- Flexibility and Durability: Maintaining performance even after thousands of compression cycles, ensuring the longevity required for professional medical equipment.
