Less noise and vibration for MRI and other medical devices
Excellent static and dynamic long-term performance based on the unique compressibility of Cellasto® contributes to vibration abatement/isolation and noise reduction of MRI and other medical devices.
Applications of Cellasto® in MRI equipment:
- Gradient coil
- Volumetric transmitting coil
- Vibration isolation of entire equipment
