Glass: The smarter, RF-transparent choice for implants

Glass serves as both an electrical insulator and an RF-transmissive material, offering a cost-effective solution with simpler processing and no reliance on precious materials compared to other materials. It provides greater design flexibility for all production volumes, enables smaller, less complex components, and allows efficient data transfer with RF transparency, ideal for wireless charging and Bluetooth applications.

A new level of miniaturization

Miniaturization is revolutionizing implantable medical devices, offering design flexibility and enabling smaller implants without compromising functionality. This also contributes to the development of sleeker, more advanced implants that can be built using a leaner process with fewer components, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
