Encapsulation Technology
Customized Encapsulation Technology for your Implant
At CorTec we support you on your journey from idea to realization of individual components for your medical device development.
We offer high channel implant housings and silicone overmoldings to support you in the development of a safe and reliable encapsulation solution. Protecting the most delicate implant components and electronics.
High Channel Implant Housing
Hermetic encapsulation technology
Thick film technology enables hundreds of electrical feedthroughs — unlike conventional titanium packages with metal pin feedthroughs.
- Individual designs with +100 feedthroughs
- Radio frequency and infrared transparency
- Integration of coils and antennas without additional circuit boards
- Ceramic cover can be replaced by metal cover if needed
Silicone Overmolding
Non-Hermetic encapsulation technology
Non-hermetic encapsulations using silicone molding. The benefits of using a silicone molded encapsulation include the following:
- Reduced tissue reaction inside the body
- Long-term stability of system components
- Protection of electronics or other parts of the implant
- Use of medical grade silicone to meet biocompatibility requirements
Depending on your individual active implant we create your ideal silicone overmolding design.
- Fast design iterations and in-house tool production
- Rapid prototyping and mock ups
We make it easy!
We support your Medical Device Development from idea to realization in fast and established processes inhouse.
Take a look at the design options below and start your next project with our team.

Materials
In Contact with the Body
- Smooth implant shell and cables made of medical grade silicone rubber.
- All other materials such as the ceramic encapsulation, the feedthroughs, and the metal seal for the package are covered by this silicone shell.
Performance
Helium fine leak testing for hermeticity:
Extremely low leak rates qualify our packages for rejection thresholds below 10(-10) mbar l s(-1).
