Unmatched Precision & Reliability for Life-Saving Medical Technologies

In life-saving medical devices, precision and reliability aren’t just important—they’re essential. Clippard valves have become a trusted solution in critical applications like artificial hearts and ventilators, where every pulse and breath matters.

In artificial hearts, they pilot diaphragm pumps to precisely replicate the natural rhythm of a heartbeat, ensuring consistent and reliable performance vital for patient survival. In ventilators, Clippard valves manage airflow, regulate pressure, and enable precise gas blending to deliver tailored respiratory support with exceptional accuracy.

Clippard’s patented Spider Technology transformed valve design with its minimalist flat armature and central plunger mechanism. Renowned for exceptional reliability and performance, the original EV series "spider" valve remains the industry standard for long life and minimal leakage.

Building on this legacy, Clippard offers a range of spider valves suited for various applications, particularly in medical devices, where their benefits shine:

Minimal Wear: Movement as small as 0.007" extends operational life.

Rapid Response: Ensures precise timing in critical applications.

Quiet Operation: Ideal for noise-sensitive environments like hospitals.

Energy Efficiency: Low power requirements suit portable devices.

Compact Design: Reduced internal volume saves space.

Unmatched Durability: Tested to endure over 1 billion cycles.
