TECHNOLOGY EXPERTISE
DEPENDABLE TECHNOLOGY –
PERFECT CONNECTIONS
Medical applications, more than any other area, require the highest degree
of precision, dependability and security in each and every component. Our
sophisticated technology and diversified expertise provide a firm foundation
for the customized development of first-class connectors for the entire
medical technology sector.
PUSH-PULL LOCKING
SPINDLE LOCKING
Quick, secure connections: The automatic locking system prevents the
connection from inadvertently demating, even when there is a pull on
the cable. Demating can only occur when the user intentionally pulls
back the outer sleeve of the connector – which is quick and easy.
This user-friendly quick-lock system enables easy, ergonomic handling
of high-pole interfaces. A large variety of customized connector systems
are available, including systems allowing for the retroactive front-side
changing of the spindle head.
100% NON-MAGNETIC
HIGH-SPEED DATA TECHNOLOGY
Ethernet
USB 2.0
USB 3.0
Firewire
HDMI
eSATA
To guarantee the non-magnetic nature of components, single products
and all-in-one systems, ODU submits them to a meticulous inspection.
In addition to the usual control measures, a patented in-house magnetic
testing technology is applied.
ODU offers innovative, functionally secure solutions to meet modern
high-speed data transmission requirements. We guarantee the very
best contact and transmission security in high-frequency transfer –
whether for analog or digital signals.
HIGH-DENSITY TECHNOLOGY
TIGHTNESS THROUGH GLASS POTTING

Picture: Electrovac
Up to 40 contacts
The growing trend toward miniaturization is particularly applicable
to medical technology, and ODU’s high-density technology offers the
greatest number of contacts possible in the smallest amount of space.
Despite their small footprint, the contacts’ dependability and robustness
are guaranteed.
Stringent tightness requirements – such as hermetically sealed optics
and electronics of endoscopes – are met through „glass-potted“
solutions. The technology’s added benefits: a long service life, high
number of autoclave cycles and robust materials.
CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS
Cable assemblies and complete solutions
For particularly challenging areas of medical technology, accurately
fitting custom solutions are absolutely indispensable – and ODU is your
perfect partner: We provide application-specific, customized solutions,
developing them in close coordination with our customers down to the
very last detail.
As a provider of systems and complete solutions, ODU offers first-class
customized cable assembly, even in cleanroom conditions. Appliance
tubes, cables and plugs are manipulated in a clean, space-saving
manner, and interfaces are always reliably configured.

In the words of our satisfied customers
In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), it is imperative for the connectors we use to guarantee a high number of mating cycles while being
absolutely non-magnetic. Besides standard coils for clinical use, RAPID
Biomedical regularly develops client-specific solutions for research
whose requirements far exceed the usual. It is especially in cases such
as these, when special solutions are needed, that ODU supports us with
the necessary technical flexibility and problem-solving expertise.”
Dr. Florian Odoj, CEO, RAPID Biomedical GmbH
Thanks to reliable ODU connections, MARI can facilitate highly
complex operations.”
Dr. David Pitskhelauri, internationally renowned neurosurgeon
Ultimately, it was ODU’s ability to adapt existing connector systems to
client-specific needs which enabled the successful implementation of
our project.”

CUTTING-EDGE DIAGNOSTICS MEAN
CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY, TOO
Picture: Philips
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results from the protons in the water
within a patient’s body being impacted by a very strong static magnetic
field. A pulsed HF magnetic field is irradiated via an HF coil to stimulate the protons. When the HF magnetic field is turned off, the protons
send out small magnetic signals which are then registered by means
of special patient coils. These signals ultimately generate the desired
sectional image.

HF transmission via coax and new trailblazing solutions
Solutions for digital transmission via fiber optic cables (GOF/POF)
Perfect data transmission – completely free of errors, shadows or spots – is indispensable when it comes to imaging
techniques. Depending on the nature of the examination, the
contacting occurs with the MRI device through the various
patient coils and is carried out via application- and devicespecific connectors developed by ODU.
