Contour Energy's Li/CFx Cells Enhance Battery Performance in Medical Devices

摘要

Contour Energy Systems, Inc. has introduced its Lithium/ Carbon Fluoride (Li/CFx) primary batteries in medical devices. Contour's proprietary Fluoronetic fabrication technique combines multi-layered carbon nano-materials with new manufacturing processes to achieve long shelf life and wide temperature operation. Additionally, the Li/CFx series' patented "tunable cathode" allows the cell's fundamental properties to be fine-tuned for optimal energy and power density. Contour's Li/CFx cells are especially well-suited for medical applications due to their relatively flat discharge profile, low internal resistance and light weight. Key medical applications include drug infusion pumps, neurostimulators, pacemakers, bone-growth stimulators, glucose monitors, defibrillators and other implantable and external devices.
