St. Louis MO. USA (August 2, 2005) Specifically engineered and developed for superior shielding performance in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications is Laird Technologies' MRI 'A' Fabric. Providing better than industry standard EMI shielding throughout the entire MRI frequency range (25 MHz through 200 MHz), this patented, proprietary technology is designed to remain stable over the average life of a typical MRI room.
This unique material is a Nickel/Copper Polyester non-woven fabric; its base layer is Copper - allowing high conductivity; its outer layer is manufactured from Nickel, to provide comprehensive corrosion and oxidation resistance. This combination results in an architectural material ideal for shielding while providing outstanding resilience.
The MRI 'A' fabric is great for OEMs manufacturing MRI equipment or constructing MRI rooms, is flexible and lightweight enough to shield complex shapes. Application is via several standard construction techniques - helping to reduce crucial installation times to ensure MRI facilities are online with minimal disruption.
Along with this product Laird Technologies has a broad range of EMI materials specifically developed for medical OEM applications. These medical applications include:
Drug and body fluid analyzers
Electric wheelchairs
Linear accelerators to CAT scanners
Oxygen concentrators
PET scanners
Wired/wireless vital sign monitors
Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, the company has manufacturing plants and business development centers in the United States, China, France, Germany, Hungary, Sweden, Japan, United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea and Taiwan.
