Magnetic Connector Applications Outside the Operating Room and Beyond

Onanon is known for MagConnect®, its trademarked, self-mating magnetic connector. This connector has proven to be a key component for safety in the medical field and beyond. There are endless applications as MagConnect® is a customizable magnetic cable connector, explore some of these past cases below.

Innovating for Everyday Needs in the Medical World and Beyond

Onanon’s MagConnect® technology is a testament to innovation and adaptability. With its magnetic connectors to address both specialized medical needs and everyday practical challenges with solutions that prioritize safety, convenience, and efficiency.   

 While MagConnect® has made significant strides in revolutionizing connectivity solutions as a medical connector inside operating rooms and in medical procedures, that is not where it stops. Its application in more common settings demonstrates its versatility and broad utility across various industries.   

 MagConnect® Used as a Medical Interconnect in Hearing Aids   

One of the most notable applications of MagConnect® beyond operating room emerged from a collaborative effort with a medical device manufacturer. They came to Onanon eager to work together on a hearing aid using a magnetic connector. 

 Hearing aid users often face challenges due to limited dexterity or mobility issues, which can complicate the process of connecting and adjusting their devices. Given that a large percentage of patients who require hearing aids are older, it can be a challenging task for them to reattach or connect their hearing aids behind their ears.    

The medical company recognized this challenge and brought in Onanon’s expertise. Together they embarked on a project to develop a magnetic connector specifically tailored for hearing aids.   

Magnetic Connector’s Accessibility and Ease of Use   

The team wanted to create a connector that not only ensured secure attachment but also simplified the user experience. Leveraging advanced engineering and customization capabilities, Onanon designed a magnetic connector that allowed users to effortlessly align and connect their hearing aids.   

 The magnetic mechanism facilitated automatic orientation of the hearing aid into the correct position upon contact, eliminating the need for difficult manual adjustments.  It also provides a quick release when needed. 

This innovation significantly enhanced the usability and independence of hearing aid users, empowering them to manage their devices with ease and confidence. It also provides a quick release when needed. 

By streamlining the connection process, Onanon’s MagConnect® technology not only improved user experience but also contributed to greater overall satisfaction and quality of life for individuals with hearing impairments. 

Enhancing Safety in Medical Beds With Magnetic Connectors  

Another impactful application of MagConnect® technology was its integration into medical beds, addressing safety concerns associated with traditional cord connections. Medical environments demand utmost safety and efficiency, where any compromise in equipment reliability or patient comfort can have profound consequences.   

Working closely with a medical equipment manufacturer, Onanon customized MagConnect® force-sensitive connectors for their medical beds. These connectors are designed to securely attach and detach with minimal effort, ensuring that cords remain firmly in place during use but can be easily disconnected when necessary.  

This feature significantly reduces the risk of patient falls and minimizes disruptions for healthcare providers and caregivers maneuvering around the bed area. The implementation of magnetic cable connectors in medical beds makes healthcare facilities not only safer for patients but workers too.  

Innovation and Future Prospects With Custom Connectors   

Onanon continues to lead the way in connector technology innovation, driven by a commitment to advancing MagConnect® solutions through continuous research and development. By staying at the forefront of technological advancements, Onanon anticipates and responds to evolving industry needs.
