Medical Devices

A great fit for our fast and flexible prototyping capabilities simultaneously designing components for manufacturability and stringent quality requirements. We engineer our manufacturing process to both reduce costs and allow potential problems to be fixed in the design phase which is the least expensive place.

Aegis produces custom glass-to-metal-sealed (GTMS) connectors and headers for medical devices, imaging systems, surgical products, and diagnostic equipment. These products are often used for implantable or autoclave certified products. We meet the technical needs of the medical profession and our products fulfill a critical life-sustaining role in this demanding industry. We also customize packages and manufacture specialized glass-to-metal-sealed headers and feedthroughs in high strength alloys such as Titanium and Inconel to reach extremely low leak rates (1 x 10-9 cc/sec of Helium at 1 atmosphere).

Our capabilities include:

  • Comprehensive design and testing capabilities
  • Total Vertical Integration
  • High reliability, hermetically sealed packages from standard outlines (transistor outline, dual in-line, plug-ins and flatpacks) to extremely sophisticated and complex custom configurations
  • In-house metal fabrication, stamping, grinding, punching
  • Component manufacturing including RF terminals, DC pin assemblies and SMA, SMP (GPO) and SSMP (GPPO) connectors
  • Dedicated brazing, sealing, and integration furnaces
  • In-house tool and die
  • Temperature testing to 1000°F / 538°C
  • High current contacts using noble metals
  • High density contact patterns
  • Hard wired or mated pair design options
  • Split frame manufacturing capabilities for larger, more complex assemblies
  • Kanban manufacturing controls available
  • Worldwide supplier to industrial, telecommunication and process control industry
  • Lean manufacturing implementation at all facilities
  • Machining capabilities to meet critical requirements of weld projections for diaphragm mount and “O” Ring grooves for process flow control sensor application
  • In-house plating to meet wire bonds
  • Manufacturing of both low pressure (TO style) and high pressure (stainless steel and titanium) headers
  • Reduced lead times for prototype requirements
  • Auxiliary support products such as PEEK inserts
  • Aegis is ISO 9001:2000 (with AS9100A) Registered by NSF

Applications Include:

  • Diagnostic imaging
  • Cardiac pacemakers
  • Surgical drills / saws
  • Defibrillators
  • Cochlear implants
  • Cardiac pacemakers
  • UV lasers for surgical drilling, cutting and “cold marking” bone
