Solenoid valves help control the movement of liquids between different valves and pumps. The valves are important in many different industries, but perhaps there is no more important use for the valves than in the medical industry.

In the medical industry, miniature solenoid valves are extremely important for controlling a variety of medical equipment, including life support systems and fluid removal systems that help keep people alive when they are sick.

The medical industry uses a variety of special purpose valves in addition to general purpose valves for medical equipment, such as:

Proportional valves: Proportional miniature solenoid valves can control the flow of neutral fluids. It is possible to adjust the flow rate right from the main VALVES , which eliminates the need for multiple valves with different flow rates. This is highly useful in the medical world where various liquids need different flow rates at different times, such as medication or blood transfusion.

Pinch valves: A pinch valve literally pinches the tube to stop the flow of the liquid inside. This prevents dead volume and cross-contamination. This is a highly useful feature in the medical industry because contamination is always a risk.

Isolation valves: Isolation valves can control both neutral and aggressive fluids. Isolation valves are designed to isolate the solenoid from the fluid, which helps keep high fluid purity and a low dead volume in the pipe lines. This is helpful for keeping fluids clean and preventing air from entering the flow tubes and hurting patients.

The use of these three valves make medical procedures much safer and more effective than ever before. Medicine mixed with engineering and technology can maximize the health of all patients and increase the effectiveness of medical procedures and equipment used in modern medicine today.
