Molex Named Among Top 100 Finalists for 15th Annual Chicago Innovation Awards


Molex has been selected out of a field of 643 nominees as a Top 100 Finalist in the running for the 15th annual Chicago Innovation Awards. The awards celebrate innovative new products and services in the Chicago region. Business and civic leaders will come together to honor the winners when they are announced on October 25th at Chicago's Harris Theater.

The innovation developed and nominated by Molex (News - Alert) supports medical device manufacturers, healthcare professionals and patients. Optimized for medical fluid management systems in hospitals, senior-care facilities and physician offices using sterile, disposable bags for IV therapies, Molex custom capacitive fluid-level sensors provide continuous and precise fluid-level measurement with greater accuracy at a lower cost than other methods.

Between 90 to 95 percent of hospital patients receive IV therapy, making it one of the most commonly performed medical procedures for delivering medications, nutrition and other fluids, dialysis, plasma and blood transfusions, and chemotherapy for cancer patients.

"Molex solutions are deployed in virtually every medical specialty-from surgical tools to implantable monitors to diagnostic imaging," said Ken Stiles, project engineering manager, Molex. "We are honored to be named by the Chicago Innovation Awards as an award finalist for the development of a capacitive fluid-level sensing technology optimized for life-saving IV therapies."

"What I love about Chicago is its breadth of innovation," said Tom Kuczmarski, co-founder with Chicago journalist Dan Miller (News - Alert) of the awards. "This year's nominees prove that innovation is taking place in both large companies and small, across industries, for-profit and non-profit, high tech and lo tech. These risk-takers and visionaries are at the forefront of solving all kinds of unmet needs in the marketplace."
