It’s not an overstatement to say that lives depend on the work we do manufacturing heaters for OEMs in the medical device sector. Your standards are impeccable because positive patient outcomes rely on medical equipment performing optimally, which includes the precise measurement and regulation of temperature in items and processes that range from blood and fluid warming, insufflation and ablation devices, sterilization, patient comfort, and cell incubation for laboratories. Backer Hotwatt understands what’s at stake and lives up to the standards required to be a partner in the medical device supply chain.

For almost 70 years, Backer Hotwatt has been working with engineers from the most important medical equipment manufacturers from all over the world. Precision heating, tight tolerances, and extreme reliability are all characteristics that need to be designed into solutions for these critical applications. You can be assured that Backer Hotwatt engineers will work in close collaboration with your team to meet all performance, physical, and regulatory requirements to ensure a successful product launch and commercialization.

COMMITTED TO QUALITY AND VERSATILITY

Our team is committed and proud to manufacture quality products for the needs of our medical biotechnical industries. Backer Hotwatt is a major supplier for several processes used within medical devices and the medical supply industry. Our heating elements are used in blood, urine, and tissue analysis, ovens, incubators, water baths, hot plates, test tube heating, and cryogenics in labs, schools, and scientific equipment across the nation. We also have dry heat, disinfecting, and cleansing components that are used in the sanitization and sterilization of equipment and tools. As examples, cartridge heaters are used in ventilators and X-ray processing equipment. Plastic extruders and molders use cartridge, tubular, and flexible heaters to make medical-grade tubing, packaging, and many other components for the medical device and equipment industries.

We’ll take a closer look at some of the medical device heating applications we provide heating elements for. We build both standard and custom heaters—though note that the images on this page are unique designs and builds for custom heaters. There is a link in each section below that will take you to the corresponding standard heaters generally used for the applications highlighted on this page.
