Liquid leakage sensor
Improving peace of mind and safety during dialysis treatment
A major problem during dialysis treatment is blood leakage occurring when the needle slips out. If an adhesive plaster implanted with a sensor is attached to top of the intravenous (IV) needle, a blood leak can be detected immediately.
Three original TATSUTA technologies residing in a single medical product
-
Conductive film technology
Conductive film technology TATSUTA was the first in the world to succeed in making film from conductive paste and this product is now used in smart phones. This same TATSUTA technology is also being used to play an important role in the development of medical sensors.
-
Conductive paste technology
Conductive paste technology Plastic or adhesives that conduct electricity are known as conductive paste. This paste and printing technology developed over the years has been applied to liquid leakage and temperature sensors. Printing is also possible on raw materials such as film and nonwoven fabric.
-
Sensor technology
Sensor technology In addition to sensing and detection, there is also new focus on the additional process of alarm activation. The ability to provide original TATSUTA solutions for all three of these processes is one of our strengths and includes such applications as dialysis room water leakage sensors.
Electric Wire for Medical Applications
Electric Wire for Autoclaves Highly durable medical cable suitable for autoclave sterilization. Independently developed sheath material provides high durability.
Development of tough conductors and application of free resin molding technology
TATSUTA offers a lineup of cable products designed to meet the needs of medical facilities based on a combination of our conductor manufacturing, special braiding, resin compounding and molding, and terminal processing technology.
