The science of fiber optics has come a long way since the
days of 1842, when Daniel Colladon wrote the first popular science article on
the subject, “On the Reflections of a Ray
of Light inside a Parabolic Stream”. Since then, that clumsy “ray of light” has
been honed and miniaturized until today a standard optical fiber is contained within
a clumped cable of thousands of its kind. This allows for many possible uses, some
of the most prominent being in medicine. Whether a cardiologist needs better light
by which to navigate his scalpel while performing heart surgery, or whether a
surgeon needs fiber optic nasopharyngoscopy to examine a nasal cavity for
tumors, polyps, chronic nosebleeds, sleep apnea, or the like; there’s a strong
medical need for many different types and lengths of fiber optic cables.
Likewise, there is a strong need to protect the intricate
design of these cables from the inevitable wear and tear they suffer when
utilized in a medical or dental environment.
That’s where Vanguard’s cable
sheaths come into the conversation. Being that we have long-standing experience
in manufacturing fiber optic cable sheaths for the medical industry; and being
that we’re able both to perform long production runs of standard sheaths and/or
customize our sheaths to comply with the intricacies of specific devices, we
certainly are looking forward to this upcoming MD&M West
in Anaheim, CA, February 12-14, 2013, at the Anaheim Convention Center.
As anyone in the medical device field readily knows,
MD&M-West is one of the main medical showcases in North America, both in
terms of exhibiting new technology and in presenting new techniques and
approaches in manufacturing for medical products. Finally, MD&M is one of
the primary means by which those in the medical OEM field can meet face-to-face
in an informal, comfortable setting, and get to know one another’s business
needs and timetables more clearly.
At MD&M West, we look forward as always to
meeting up with old friends and business partners, as well as establish new
possible ventures for the coming year. Not to mention that mid-February’s usually
a nice time to leave Connecticut for a couple of days in favor of Anaheim! So stop
by our booth, booth number 3355, and come say hello. For a complimentary pass

In the meantime, contact
us by phone or by email if you have any questions about our attendance of
MD&M West or anything else.
