Today, people who rely on innovative bioimplantable medical devices can do things they may have never thought possible.

And with this, the demands of modern medicine are growing exponentially, while the technology needed to make modern medicine work is simultaneously getting smaller, more portable, more flexible, and more reliable than ever before.

The Rise of Implantable Devices

One example is smart pills are being developed which use sensors to detect when a pill has been taken by their interaction with the body. The pill transmits a message to a patch on a patient’s skin which subsequently connects to an app such that patients can monitor medication intake. (Source: Med-Tech Innovation News)
 
Another example, the first bioartificial kidney, developed by The Kidney Project, is expected to be among the most promising solutions in today's medical advancements and has the potential to end challenging kidney problems. One of the more interesting aspects of the bioartificial kidney is the ability to implant the device on patients instead of treating them through dialysis machines, which should result in a decrease of the patients on the waiting lists for transplant procedures.

In many ways, better technology can lead to a better quality of life for us and the people we love. Today, medical implants are being powered by custom components that have longer battery lives and can be recharged remotely, without the need for invasive surgery. This means less downtime, and more quality time outside the doctor's office.

The Proliferation of Technology

The expanding role of autonomous surgical robots, adoption of 5G networks, and advancements in artificial intelligence solutions have created a unique opportunity for healthcare agencies. Healthcare technologies have changed how health is measured, managed, and delivered — and these solutions are helping leaders improve performance, increase collaboration, manage costs, and increase patient engagement. With more streamlined processes and automated tasks to real-time communication and on-demand information, technology is at the center of it all.
 
Today, the intersection of new technologies is allowing for an entirely new set of capabilities. Each technology alone is important, but together their convergence is essential for rapid ground-breaking solutions to emerge. Artificial intelligence, the internet, wireless connections, the app economy, efficient online payments, and advanced software technologies that seamlessly connect physicians, specialists, patients, insurance companies, and out-patient programs are transforming the way we do business.

The Rise of Remote Healthcare

Remote healthcare, also known as telehealth, is poised to become a mainstream option for healthcare delivery across the world, as constraints stemming from the pandemic continue to drive strong remote patient uptake and increasingly favorable consumer perception.
 
This new normal has led to innovation beyond “virtual urgent care.” The very nature of the healthcare industry is on the verge of significant change. This means more tech, more data, and more systems that work - and work every time. It also means technology that secures information, increases cybersecurity, and keeps patient records right where they belong - under electronic lock and key.

The Need for High Precision, High Performance Components

Precision electronics are used in a wide range of implantable devices, ranging from heart rhythm management glucose monitors and pain management devices. What do these all have in common? It’s not enough to simply work. They must work reliably every time - and all the time.
 
COINING works with major medical equipment manufacturers to build precision custom components that power the products that must work precisely and safely. Products that keep people alive, functioning, and living their lives to the fullest.

Why COINING?

COINING is the world's largest provider of solder and brazing preforms needed to make the things we rely on work faster, better, and more consistently. No matter how much data you throw at it.

Custom Alloys to Meet Your Needs

Our industry-leading laboratory is staffed with experienced chemists and metallurgists and is equipped with the latest generation of instruments to measure bulk compositions, trace impurities, and bulk physical characteristics. This means we can make custom alloys, easily work with different materials, and bring out the best, when only the best will do. Plus, we can do all this a whole lot faster than anyone else.
 
At COINING, our engineering team has over 100 years of combined experience in developing custom alloys that go into making micro precision-made components needed to power some of the most sophisticated technology in the world.

Flexible Prototyping Means Faster Speed to Market

Being the largest solder preform manufacturer in the world, we have the most extensive library of dies in the industry. With 15,000 different tools on the shelf, we can make whatever you need, when you need it most. This results in shorter lead-times, reliable on-time deliveries, and consistent performance levels.

We offer fast and flexible prototyping capabilities and the custom design of components that meet the most stringent quality requirements. Our holistic design and manufacturing process has been developed to deliver high performance products, reduce costs, and allow for seamless troubleshooting in the design phase – when changes are easier and less expensive to make. When it comes to custom components, our in-house engineering team ensures the size, weight, and functionality of each component is designed and developed to deliver the best possible solution.
