Flexible heaters for medical devices, solutions for healthcare

Flexible heating technology for precise thermal management

In the medical sector, there are some fundamentals that cannot be negotiated, such as precision, safety, comfort and innovation, as they would compromise the quality of care and patient safety, as well as the efficiency of healthcare personnel.

For the medical sector, Alper produces flexible heaters specifically developed to ensure and maintain precise and constant temperature. Heating elements are crucial for the correct functioning of diagnostic, therapeutic and life-support equipment, as even the smallest temperature variations can affect the effectiveness of treatment or patient safety.

Thanks to the use of screen printing with conductive inks on polymer films, Alper is able to create ultra-thin resistances — with a thickness of only 0.2 mm — that stand out for their flexibility, lightness and total customization based on customer needs.

Reliability and accuracy are crucial for the proper functioning of medical devices and for achieving excellent results

Alper flexible heaters are proposed as an innovative alternative to traditional heating systems, thanks to various features such as flexibility, which allows them to adapt to any surface, even curved ones or in tight spaces.

The heat distribution is uniform, which makes them ideal for application in laboratory analysis instruments, diagnostics, reagent storage; as well as ensuring an ideal temperature to maintain perfect comfort for the patient.

Alper can customize each element and adapt it to the customer’s needs, from the shape of the heater to the voltage, power and dimensions, up to the terminals and connectors. A completely customizable solution that can adapt to any need.

Thin film heaters for medical devices innovative heating solutions for the healthcare technology

Alper manufactures heaters that ensure uniform heat distribution and rapid response times without hot spots or malfunctions, in fact, these heating elements are developed to be safe and to handling ongoing use.

Alper flexible heaters are thin, lightweight, flexible and can be integrated directly into the structure of devices without compromising either design or functionality. Unlike traditional rigid systems, flexible heaters can be integrated directly into medical devices of all shapes and sizes.

From use in diagnostic equipment to heating operating tables, these elements ensure uniform and controlled heat, essential for maintaining stable vital or therapeutic conditions.

Defibrillators, especially portable ones used in first aid or outdoor environments, must operate efficiently even in difficult environmental conditions. Extreme temperatures can compromise the reactivity of the batteries, the control electronics or the ability to release the shock. Alper flexible heaters, which can be integrated inside the device, keep the operating temperature of the defibrillator stable, protecting critical components and ensuring immediate availability of the device in case of emergency. An invisible but vital thermal solution, designed to save lives even in the most extreme situations.

Providing quality care starts with patient comfort. Alper flexible heating systems allow a more natural and less invasive application of heat, improving the therapeutic experience, especially in rehabilitation treatments. At the same time, their efficiency and reliability facilitate the work of healthcare professionals.

Among the main applications of Alper flexible heaters in the healthcare sector we find:

Maintaining the temperature of physiological fluids
Thermal control in diagnostic equipment
Heating in medical devices
Heating of instruments
Heating of operating tables
Heating of samples for tests and research experiments
Heating for defibrillators and portable life-saving devices
