Hypertronics ImplanTac™ socket contacts are made of bio-compatible materials for use in implantable medical devices where reliability, dependability and ease of use are critical. Such applications include pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, neurostimulators, metabolic controls, circulation pumps, bone growth stimulators and pain management devices.

ImplanTac implantable contact solutions are based on the low-force, low-resistance Hypertac® contact technology and are designed to resist the vulnerability and problems that other interconnect technologies experience during mating.

With customizable ImplanTac contacts, medical device manufacturers with critical applications are guaranteed reliable, high performance interconnect solutions for applications in which malfunction or failure is life threatening.

The ImplanTac solution minimizes the costs and risks that are associated with invasive procedures. The contacts allow surgeons to easily mate implanted leads to devices without misalignment, damage to the system, or risk to the patient. Invasive procedures are safer and simpler with ImplanTac because specialty mating tools are no longer needed.

Typical implanted devices are encapsulated in a housing then implanted into the body cavity. Electrical leads are connected to the implanted device during a surgical procedure. The device monitors sensory inputs and the leads, in turn, apply electrical energy to the body; therefore the connection between the leads and the device must be of the utmost reliability.

Medical industry leaders have turned to Hypertronics to solve the problems they have encountered with other implantable interconnect technologies. ImplanTac provides the high reliability of the Hypertac contact system in combination with the specialty materials required for critical implantable applications.
