Northwire’s softer durometer BioCompatic II meets customer requests for a velvet-like, silicone alternative cable.

Osceola, WI, USA — Cable engineering company, Northwire, Inc., (NWI), in collaboration with precision cable connector leader LEMO is pleased to launch the second generation BioCompatic II for extreme engineering and cable assembly applications ranging from health care to industrial. A cost-effective upgrade to silicone – and a USP Class VI alternative – was engineered by Northwire specifically to create a softer durometer, eliminate the traditional curing processes, and add many other improvements including robust resistance to chemicals, cuts, and abrasion.

Following the popularity of the inaugural Underwater Connectivity white paper, Northwire and LEMO will continue their collective efforts to bring value to cable and wire, connector, and OEM customers focused on the enhancements of utilizing a silicone alternative. These advantages include USP Class VI interpretation, benefits of rapid R&D deployment, time-lapsed photography of autoclave tests in-process, and the compatibility of LEMO’s series of medical Push-Pull connector.
