Inventus Power Team

Battery-powered surgical tools are revolutionizing operating rooms with greater mobility, precision, and efficiency. But designing these tools isn’t simple — their batteries must endure extreme sterilization processes, including high heat, steam, and pressure from autoclaving. They must also meet stringent requirements for ergonomic design, reliability, and compliance with FDA Class II medical device standards.

Leveraging 65 years of experience in custom battery pack development, Inventus Power has helped surgical tool manufacturers address these design challenges by engineering and manufacturing autoclavable lithium battery packs tailored to specific OEM requirements, while ensuring resilience to repeated sterilization and meeting long-life and performance expectations.

In this white paper, you’ll gain insight into:

  • Market growth trends for powered surgical tools
  • How battery technology is advancing surgical tool innovation
  • Critical battery design considerations for autoclaving sterilization
  • Battery supplier selection criteria to ensure device reliability and compliance
