In the medical field, accuracy and reliability are not a luxury, but a necessity. Sensitive procedures, such as surgery and rehabilitative sessions, require devices that will deliver appropriate, objective tactile feedback in a manner that is as inobtrusive as possible to the patient and practitioner. It is for these reasons and more that medical professionals, product designers and engineers alike strive to incorporate FlexiForce® sensors into their medical solutions.

FlexiForce force sensors are ultra-thin (0.008"), flexible, non-obtrusive printed circuits. Their construction allows for easy maneuvering and an exclusive fit, even during the most delicate of surgical procedures. FlexiForce sensors are fully customizable to suit your unique OEM medical application. Standard sensors are also available for proof of concept, or for a quick, low quantity, R&D solution.
