Fischer Connectors, the global provider of ultra-reliable and high-performance connectivity solutions, continues to push the boundaries of innovation in rugged miniaturization, high-speed data transmission, sealing, wearability and the Internet of Things (IoT). At UBM’s annual MD&M West show in Anaheim, the company showcases how it is reimagining connectivity with its customers thanks to breakthrough and forward-looking products and its new technological partnership with Wearable Technologies Ltd. that spans multiple industries.

Fischer Connectors will formally introduce the new Fischer Freedom™ Series connector to the medical market this year at MD&M West.  This breakthrough connector will revolutionize how medical device manufacturers approach wearable device design, due to its unique configuration allowing 360 degree connectivity and freedom of movement.
