Many existing devices are too rigid for certain applications, leading to patient discomfort, poor contact with surfaces, and unstable data acquisition. The SPC’s flexibility, stretchability, and adaptability support multi-sensing capabilities and a wide range of user requirements. Its soft material is gentle on the skin, making it well-suited for disposable EEG, EMG, and ECG electrodes that meet ANSI/AAMI EC12 standards. The stretchable design allows a single device to fit various body areas, like elbows and knees, and accommodate patients of different sizes.
SPC technology ensures seamless integration and optimal performance through telescopic component mounting and hybrid bonding between substrates. Its shield layer effectively blocks electromagnetic noise, providing reliable signal-path protection. The substrate construction also enhances moisture resistance and supports sustained high-voltage operation.
Murata’s SPC is customizable based on application requirements.
