Using Innovative Motion to Revolutionize
Medical Devices

Actuated Medical leverages the power of piezoelectric
actuators to innovate medical devices that can be used
in ways conventional devices cannot. By integrating pie-
zoelectric components into medical devices, we are able
to maximize the piezoelectric effect to cause Innovative
Motion™ – the common denominator in all of Actuated
Medical's devices. Piezoelectric technology is also an im-
portant part of our modeling, design, engineering, and te-
sting processes of our Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
compatible systems.

With the right instruments, MRI compatible technology can be used not only for imaging but also for performing a wide range of surgical procedures – as long as the devices used to perform those procedures are compatible with the MRI platform. MRI images provide greater detail and readability than ultrasound and greater contrast between differing soft tissues in the body than a CT scan. Actuated Medical is designing, building, and manufacturing a line of innovative devices that will enable diagnostic, treatment, and surgical procedures to be conducted under MRI guidance.

+ Direct Drive Motor - for improving patient care by enabling a variety of diagnostic and surgical
    procedures to be performed during MRI imaging.

  • Transdermal Patch - for administering long-term, controlled-delivery medications subcutaneously.

Improving Patient Outcomes

Piezoelectric systems driven at their resonance frequencies exhibit unique properties of displacement and output power. Harnessing this effect allows for design of motors with capabilities exceeding their electromagnetic counterparts, medication delivery systems that enable drug dosing through the skin, and a range of other applications.

Improving Clinical Care

Piezoelectric systems offer the chance, in many applications, to deliver on the vision for advanced medical care in the 21st Century. Actuated Medical offers tools that allow surgeons to work in environments that provide the most precise imaging available and devices that painlessly deliver critical, timed-release-dosage medication automatically, without requiring patients to inject themselves -- or to even remember to take their medications!

Why Actuated Medical MRI Compatible Systems?

  • Insensitive to electromagnetic fields and radiation – MRI compatible.

  • Piezoelectric actuators used in medical devices enable miniaturization over electromagnetic actuators.

  • Piezoelectric materials change shape with electric field with the added advantage that the shape change is reversible.

  • Precise nano/micron shape change control.

  • ˜1/10th the size of electromagnetic devices with comparable performance.
