For applications in the medical sector, Camcon developed a bi-stable pinch valve. Its unique features allow timed dosing or extraction of a liquid or gas or any other automatic or manual action controlling fluid delivery or disposal.

In comparison to existing valve designs, the small size and energy-efficiency of the Camcon valve enables its complete portability.

Camcon® Bi-stable Pinch Valve incorporates a discrete fluid channel, creating a sterile flow environment, critical for medical applications. All active components of the valve are fully isolated from the liquid or gas being manipulated.

The swinging magnetised bi-stable armature is able to pinch the tube open or closed depending on the position of the armature. The highly-efficient pinching action increases the valve's reliability, preventing encrustations from blocking the channel.

As Camcon® Bi-stable Pinch Valve requires very little power to operate, it can be powered for long periods of time from a battery and has the potential to aid patient mobility during the recovery period.
