~ How new batteries make transportable MedTech more fit-for-purpose ~
For over five decades, with the help of battery power, medical devices on wheels have been a cost-effective and invaluable option for hospitals. Every year new devices are introduced to the market. Fortunately, to ensure that all these old and new devices can fit around the patient's bedside, the technological advancement of various components, such as batteries, means it is now possible to design effective functionality into smaller footprints. Here, we look at MedTech on wheels throughout the decades and how new battery technologies have emerged to better serve the need for compact size and higher performance.

The first smart meter was developed and produced in the late 70s and, by the mid-80s, manufacturers of these devices found Lithium Thionyl Chloride (Li/SOCl2) cells to be an extremely well-suited source of power due to their long service life that reduces the need for replacement. Ultralife has recently introduced a new line of Li/SOCl2 cells, called ER Generation X, that are a great option for those who consider performance, price and lead time.
