CNS Event Showcases Bal Conn(TM) for Cardiac, Neurostimulation and Sensing.ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Congress of Neurological Surgeons Annual Meeting, running through September 25th in Orlando, Florida The city of Orlando is a major city in central Florida and is the county seat of Orange County, Florida. According to the 2000 census, the city population was 185,951. A 2006 U.S. , has always been a destination spot for those who want to learn about big advances in medical device technology. But this year, one of the event's biggest attractions may be its smallest and simplest: an electrical contact Noun 1. electrical contact - contact that allows current to pass from one conductor to another tangency, contact - (electronics) a junction where things (as two electrical conductors) touch or are in physical contact; "they forget to solder the contacts" designed around a tiny, coiled spring. The Bal Conn[TM], an electrically conductive device that employs a unique, precision-engineered canted-coil[TM] spring retained in a metal housing, is being showcased at the conference. And according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the product's manufacturer, Bal Seal Engineering, Inc., it has already caught the attention of engineers seeking connecting solutions for devices used in cardiac healthcare management, neurostimulation and neuro sensing therapies.

Mark Russell (born August 23 1932 in Buffalo, New York) is an American political satirist/comedian. He also sings and plays the piano. , a Global Medical Device Market Manager for Bal Seal, attributes much of the interest in the Bal Conn to its simplicity and reliability. "Whenever I show engineers how the Bal Conn performs," says Russell, "they almost always respond with words like, 'simple,' 'elegant' and 'easy.' They immediately recognize this as a reliable solution that can be quickly and easily applied to almost any connecting challenge they might face." The Bal Conn, which is already at work in more than a million implantable medical devices worldwide, facilitates a consistent electrical connection An electrical connection between discrete points allows the flow of electrons, (current). A pair of connections is needed for a circuit. Between points with a low voltage difference between them, direct current flow can be controlled by a switch. between the device lead and the battery. Its canted-coil spring adjusts to maintain maximum contact with the lead electrodes that are inserted into the device header. Bal Conn spring coils can be customized to accommodate specific insertion and removal force requirements, and Bal Conn diameters are available to fit any lead configuration, from IS1 and IS4 all the way down to 0.040."
