Medical connection systems are used to transmit power, data, and control signals to and from medical devices. They can be found in numerous clinical settings—surgical devices such as hand tools; therapeutic equipment; and diagnostic equipment such as EEG, ECG, EKG and EMG machines. They are also common in portable medical devices.

Connectors encompass more than just wires.Fiber-optic connection systems are employed for control signals, biomedical sensing, endoscopic imaging, and visible light transmission. Many medical connectors are incorporated into complex harnesses intended for one-time use.

When designing connectors for medical use, many factors must be considered, including FDA classification of the medical device, base electrical requirements including voltage and current, EMC and shielding requirements, and environmental requirements for specifying appropriate materials.

REUNION push-pull self-locking connectors are widely used in medical devices: imaging, therapy, minimally invasive surgical devices, implanted electronics, patient monitors, and sensors, etc.
