Pacemakers

Precision power for implantable cardiac devices.

The Knowles Advantage

Implantable pacemakers rely on precise, uninterrupted electrical performance to regulate heart rhythms and sustain life. These devices demand uncompromising reliability, biocompatibility, and long-term stability. Knowles enables safe, consistent operation with high-reliability capacitors and miniaturized solutions designed to meet stringent medical standards and support decades of in-body performance.

Pacemaker system support: Capacitors enable stable rhythm control and reliable electrical pulse delivery.
Medical-grade MLCCs: MD Series capacitors are MIL-PRF screened for long-term implant reliability.
Miniaturization capabilities: Compact components support smaller, more efficient implant designs.
Custom capacitor assemblies: High-capacitance solutions for signal conditioning, timing, and EMI control.
Proven reliability and compliance: Designed for zero-failure performance with ISO 13485 and rigorous screening standards.

MedTech Miniaturization Capabilities

Knowles leverages advanced miniaturization capabilities—including precision machining, micro molding, micro stamping, coil winding, and microelectronics assembly—to enable smaller, lighter, and more efficient medical devices without compromising performance or quality. With micron-level precision, rigorous quality control, and end-to-end design and manufacturing support, Knowles helps Medtech innovators reduce complexity, optimize designs, and scale production reliably and cost-effectively.
