The Power Behind Modern Medicine

The Power Behind Modern Medicine

Tadiran manufactures advanced lithium batteries used throughout the medical field, from small, lightweight, and powerful cells used in surgical power tools to cells that can survive transport via the cold chain to cells that can withstand high temp. autoclave sterilization.

TLM Series lithium metal oxide batteries enable handheld medical devices to be more powerful and miniaturized

Tadiran high energy TLM Series lithium metal oxide batteries make medical devices smaller, lighter, more ergonomic, and more powerful. TLM Series batteries are ideal for applications such as automatic external defibrillators, surgical power tools, infusion pumps, bone growth stimulators, and other handheld medical devices.

Tadiran high energy TLM Series batteries are small yet powerful, delivering up to 2Wh of energy with an open circuit voltage of 4.0 V. These compact cells can deliver pulses of up to 15A, with 5A maximum continuous load at 3.0V. These batteries are available in both high-power and medium-power versions.

TLM Series batteries are incredibly safe, with non-toxic and non-pressurized solvents. These anode materials are less reactive than other lithium chemistries and have been tested to withstand nail penetration, crush, charge, high-temperature chambers, and short circuits.

If your medic

al device is reusable, we offer medical grade TLI Series industrial grade Li-ion rechargeable batteries that can withstand high temp. autoclave sterilization.

Batteries for the medical cold chain

Tadiran manufactures bobbin-type LiSOCl2 batteries that are specially modified to monitor the safe transport of food, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, tissue samples, and transplant organs being shipped throughout the cold medical chain, where consistent temperatures as low as -80°C must be consistently maintained.

For example, Tadiran batteries are being utilized in data loggers that accompany the COVID-19 vaccine while in shipment to health centers worldwide in insulated containers that are packed in dry ice.

Lithium thionyl chloride (LiSOCl₂) batteries for autoclave sterilization

Medical devices requiring autoclave sterilization can be problematic for ordinary lithium batteries that must be removed and sterilized separately. This added step costs time and money and interrupted the data stream while the device is out of service. Tadiran bobbin-type LiSOCl2 batteries can be specially modified to withstand multiple sterilization cycles up to 125°C. These batteries are commonly used in RFID tags that continuously monitor the location and status of medical equipment and other battery-powered medical devices that must be autoclave sterilized.

If the application requires a rechargeable Li-ion battery, Tadiran also offers a medical grade TLI Series rechargeable Li-ion battery that can withstand high temp. autoclave sterilization.
