Many medical applications require sensor customization and integration extending well beyond our standard product line. To serve these needs, PPS maintains broad capabilities in electronics engineering, software development, and systems integration. Here are some examples of how PPS has delivered custom products and OEM solutions in medical devices.

Breast Cancer Screening
Our tactile sensors are 5 times more sensitive than human touch. When integrated into a low-cost, hand held wand they enabled the world's first tactile sensing device FDA-cleared for breast cancer documentation. Now affordable breast cancer screening is available for women worldwide.

GI Diagnostics
For years, esophageal catheters were limited to just a few sensing points, making them difficult to use and their data unreliable. We developed an innovative, digital pressure sensor that enabled 10 times better resolution. This device has surged from launch to market leadership in just 3 years.

Surgical Probes
Minimally-invasive surgery is growing rapidly in popularity, due in large part to its low cost. But surgeon's miss their critical sense of touch. We partnered with leading researchers to add a high-resolution tactile sensor to the tip of common probes. With their sense of touch regained, surgeons can feel comfortable choosing this low-cost technique much more often.
