Implantable Pacemaker
Implantable Pacemaker – Medical Device Coatings – Cheersonic
An implantable pacemaker is an implanted electronic device that helps maintain your heart rate. For the treatment of bradycardia (sinus node dysfunction and atrioventricular block). Compared with atropine, isoproterenol and other drugs, pacemaker therapy is safer and more effective, and is currently the most common treatment method in the world.
According to the number of pacing leads, it can be divided into single-chamber, dual-chamber and triple-chamber pacemaker (cardiac resynchronization therapy device, CRT). Among them, single-chamber pacemakers can only pace in a single ventricle or atrium, which can meet basic clinical needs, but may involve pacemaker syndrome; dual-chamber pacemakers can pace the right atrium and right ventricle synchronously, better Simulates the normal cardiac physiological state; the three-chamber pacemaker, also known as cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), adds left ventricular pacing and can treat severe heart failure associated with left and right ventricular asynchrony.
At present, the number of dual-chamber pacemakers implanted in clinical practice is the largest and the most widely used.
In addition to meeting the needs of clinical treatment, the ability to make further breakthroughs in performance and safety has always been a competition for manufacturers. At present, first-line pacemaker products generally have the characteristics of long battery life, intelligence, small size and MRI compatibility.
Battery life is a hard requirement. From nickel-chromium batteries, zinc-mercury batteries, nuclide batteries to lithium-iodine batteries, the battery life and safety have been greatly improved. At present, implanted pacemakers can generally be used for more than 12 to 15 years.
In the process of intelligentization, the pacemaker has implemented communication technologies such as Bluetooth, which not only allows doctors to monitor remotely and adjust the patient’s treatment plan at any time, but also allows patients to know their own status and professional advice on the mobile APP at any time, enhancing patients Participation and adherence in the treatment process.
Due to the increasingly high requirements for battery life and functions, pacemakers have also significantly improved in terms of battery capacity and intelligence. High-quality pacemakers also take care of the needs of patients for MRI examinations and are MRI-compatible, because no other imaging examination can obtain images of organs, soft tissues, bones and other internal structures in the same detail as MRI.
In terms of volume, the pacemaker volume of many manufacturers has already exceeded 10 cc, which reduces the discomfort and complications of subcutaneous implantation of the pulse generator.
Ultrasonic nozzles are particularly suitable for a wide range of medical coating applications due to their very precise, non-blocking, repeatable spray performance and extremely low flow rate capability. For several years, Cheersonic has been providing ultrasonic medical coating system to medical device manufacturers worldwide. As medical device technology evolves, we will continue to design unique medical coating ultrasonic spray solutions to enhance patient safety and provide the highest quality medical device coating on the market.
