Bronkhorst
Medical Anaestetic

Medical, Health and Personal Care

The Medical market - including Health and Personal Care - is a very demanding market when it comes to the specification of flow instruments. Many new products we have developed are a result from close co-operation with our customers, in anesthetic gas consumption, coating of stents, synthetic bone production, etc.. We can assist you in research applications or by validating equipment.

Examples of applications

  • Artificial kidney production (hollow fibres).
  • Monitoring anesthetic gas consumption.
  • Coating of stents
  • Synthetic bone production


Application notes

Dosing chemicals for blood glucose monitoring

The use of flow meters made it possible for Trividia Health (USA) to enable a more continuous dispensing of chemicals and reduction of maintenance activities, increasing their productivity significantly.

Other markets

Bronkhorst instruments are used for numerous applications in many different markets. They can be found in laboratories, universities, industry, production and pilot plants and even in areas or installations with risk of explosion. A substantial part of the produced instruments is integrated in manufacturing machines or equipment of so called OEM-customers (Original Equipment Manufacturers).
