Minimally Invasive Medical Devices
Minimally invasive medical devices are improving patient outcomes and changing the healthcare landscape.
As the minimally invasive medical device market shifts further toward energy-driven technology, the need for complex interconnect solutions has become increasingly important.
Our engineer-to-engineer approach means you work directly with a technical expert to overcome this challenge and develop the custom interconnect solution necessary to get your minimally invasive device to market faster.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Devices
Bringing a new, energy-driven minimally invasive surgical device to market can be difficult, especially with the increasing requirements and constraints of the market.
With advancements in minimally invasive surgical devices engineers are being asked to provide more—more functionality, more power, and more performance—in less space.
From laparoscopic surgery—where analysis, dissections, and repairs are performed via small incisions—to endovascular surgery, with its myriad of applications and procedures, minimally invasive surgical devices are being used to improve patient lives around the world.
At ATL, we’ve used our engineer-to-engineer approach to develop complex interconnect solutions for a wide range of minimally invasive surgical devices—helping our customers bring their life-saving products to market faster.
Minimally Invasive Procedural Devices
Minimally invasive procedural devices are being used to push the boundaries of in vivo guidance to improve patient outcomes.
In contrast to minimally invasive surgical devices—which are used to cut, coagulate, or remove anatomy—minimally invasive procedural devices typically utilize modern compact camera modules for guidance and imaging (e.g., endoscopes).
These camera-based devices frequently utilize cameras ranging from 0.64 mm2 to 1.05 mm2 (which equates to approximately 2 to 4 in French diameter).
The ability to incorporate light sources, active working channels, air or fluids channels, and/or other electronic sources is a common challenge with minimally invasive procedural devices.
ATL’s Chip-On-Tip® methodology for mounting compact cameras into cannulas, catheters, and other device components has enabled us to overcome these challenges and drive innovations in this space.
To enable engineers to take historically reusable scopes and turn them into disposable scopes, as well as to enable vision where it hadn’t existed previously, we have developed the PREVOYANCE Camera Assembly. This plug-and-play camera assembly utilizes our chip-on-tip technology to give the next generation of medical devices, imaging functionality.
