ConMed Linvatec, a leading global supplier of arthroscopic devices, multi-specialty endoscopic medical video systems, and powered surgical instruments, has developed the industry’s first UL-approved autoclavable battery. The Hall® Lithium Battery system, which powers surgical tools for reconstructive orthopedic procedures, features a battery housing made of AvaSpire® polyaryletherketone (PAEK) resin from Solvay Specialty Polymers.
The recently introduced L3000LG version of the Hall Lithium Battery System represents the latest in battery technology for powered medical instruments. Its Lithium-powered performance provides nearly twice the power of standard batteries for uninterrupted use during demanding procedures. The novel battery system also provides significantly longer battery life and product life than standard batteries, resulting in greater cost savings. It is 25% lighter than standard batteries and is designed with environmentally acceptable materials for recyclability.
The battery can be immediately autoclaved with other instruments in a single tray, unlike standard batteries. AvaSpire PAEK is used to injection mold the black rectangular enclosures which measure 3.5"(8.9 cm) × 3.25" (8.25 cm) × 2.5" (6.35 cm). AvaSpire PAEK is capable of withstanding an autoclave temperature of 275°F (134°C) and is chemically compatible with aggressive hospital disinfectants and cleansers. The high-performance 30% glass-filled grade of AvaSpire PAEK provides high strength, ductility, and impact resistance, along with a UL 94 V0 flammability rating at 0.8 mm.
