Medical – Specialised cables for medical devices and instruments
Cable solutions for medical applications
Medical applications pose particular challenges for cable systems due to stringent requirements regarding hygiene, sterilisability, miniaturisation, signal integrity and reliability. Our bespoke specialist cables ensurethe safe transmission of power, data, signals and media in diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical applications. Using biocompatible materials, highly flexible conductor designs, innovative surfaces such as HEW Silindo®, and complex hybrid and miniaturised cables, we develop solutions for demanding medtech applications. This results in durable and reliable cable systems for precise diagnostics, safe treatments and maximum process reliability.

Our cabling solutions at a glance
HEW-KABEL develops and manufactures specialised cables for medical devices and instruments for a range of applications, primarily in the fields of diagnostics, surgery and patient monitoring. To provide a space and cost-efficient solution for everytask, we manufacture application-specific medical cables as hybrid cables and – for particularly compact devices – as miniature cables or flat cables.
Hybrid cable
A combination of various components within a single cable, such as optical fibres, coaxial elements, individual conductors, strain relief and PTFE tubing
Simultaneous transmission of energy, data, signals, gases, liquids or light
Miniature cable
Cross-sections up to AWG56 (ø ≈ 0.0125 mm)
Micro-coaxial cable up to AWG46 (ø ≈ 0.0399 mm)
As a single cable or multi-coaxial cable
Absolutely reliable and fault-free transmission
Simultaneous transmission of data, light, liquids and electricity
Flat cable
Ultra-flexible solutions with low weight and extremely small bending radii
Simultaneous transmission of energy, data, signals, gases, liquids or light
No drag chain required for guidance, minimal running noise, smooth and jerk-free movement
Expertise in system solutions
Bespoke design concepts
When developing specialised medical cables, in-depth knowledge of materials, an understanding of regulatory requirements and many years of experience are crucial. Our experts develop bespoke cable solutions for diagnostics, surgery, therapy and patient monitoring, and support projects from the concept phase right through to series production. Thanks to our comprehensive expertise in the fields of hybrid cables, miniaturisation, material selection and signal transmission, we create solutions that are precisely tailored to the requirements of each application. Where required, we also support ourcustomers – in collaboration with qualified partners – with further system and connection solutions.
