Cirtec Medical, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota announced a collaborative approach with\u00a0 Ilika, Southampton, United Kingdom, combining application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology with solid-state battery (SSB) innovation to power the next generation of active implantable medical devices (AIMDs). The integration aims to enable compact, rechargeable, and efficient implants for applications such as neuromodulation and cardiac sensing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The joint solution addresses long-standing design challenges in AIMDs, including limited energy storage capacity, wireless power transfer efficiency, and stable memory retention during low-power or pulsed operating cycles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ilika\u2019s Stereax M300 solid-state battery delivers high energy density in a miniaturized footprint, reducing recharge times and extending implant life to minimize the need for replacement surgeries. Cirtec\u2019s ASIC platform complements this by managing power regulation, memory integrity, and startup control, even under variable energy conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

By combining these technologies, Ilika and Cirtec offer a scalable and reliable energy architecture for medical device developers, supporting safer, longer-lasting, and more sustainable implant designs that enhance patient outcomes while accelerating product development for medtech innovators.<\/span><\/p>\n
