Implantable Medical Batteries

With superior energy density, reliability, and safety, Quallion’s lithium ion and Li/CFx technologies are enabling medical applications that were unthinkable in the past. More of Quallion’s state-of-the-art Li-ion cells are implanted than those of any other manufacturer in the world. Today, these Li-ion cells are qualified to power a wide range of devices, including cochlear implants that bring hearing to the deaf, spinal-cord stimulators that bring relief to sufferers of migraines and chronic pain, glucose sensors that enables diabetics to stabilize their blood-sugar levels, and cardiac rhythm management devices that help diseased hearts beat properly or survive until a transplant is possible. 

In these and many other implantable applications, our cells can be counted on to deliver longer life, ultra-high safety, and unbeatable reliability in the challenging operating conditions within the human body. In fact, Quallion’s proprietary Li-ion chemistry has been demonstrated to last 25 years in the human body—a longer cycle life than and lower self discharge and calendar fade than any other technology on the market. Such reliability is critical in the implantable device market, since power failure in these devices is literally a matter of life and death. For added safety, our cells also feature Quallion’s patented Zero Volt™ technology, which allows batteries to be implanted and kept in a discharged state with no permanent capacity loss.
