Three Mistakes That Can Kill Your Time to Market
Developing next-generation technology for medical devices is only half the battle when it comes to being first to market in today’s fast-paced global environment.
Engineering a Silver Bullet to Fight Infection
NC State Industrial & Systems Engineering research team arms orthopedic implants with battery-activated nanotechnology.
Improving Compliance, Increasing Innovation
From increasing focus on reimbursement and economic value, to impact of UDI and the medical device user fees, three industry experts discuss current market and regulatory trends and challenges shaping the medical device industry, and offer some effective strategies for companies to follow to remain competitive.
Biomaterial Coating Promises More Successful Medical Implants
Researchers are studying a new biomaterial that helps healthy cells adhere to the implant, fend off bacterial cells and thus, reduce the likelihood of the implant being rejected by the body.
Trends to Watch For in Medical Device Industry
Access to recently developed materials, new technological deliveries and access to new markets are only a few of the trends that have affected changes in the medical device market and industry.
Silicone Adhesives – Challenges and Solutions
Customers have basic goals and expectation of silicone adhesives that it can hold the device or dressing in place while the device performs the intended function, until the time the clinical objective in achieved – Kris Godbey, 3M Medical Specialties.
Accelerating Device Development Against Current Product Development, Regulatory Landscape
“If you are doing a wound care dressing, what is unique about the product, what are you doing differently than what is already in the market, what is it intended to be used for, who is using it, and where is it being used… All of these pieces of information help you decide how to proceed.” – Jeff Kaminski , President of MBK Tape Solutions. Excerpts from an interview.
Medical Technology To Go
Solutions from the field of micro system engineering help to make faster, more flexible and smarter medical devices. The ambitious goal of the developers is to sustainably enhance the quality of patients’ lives through more mobility, faster test results on location, checking vital signs and blood values or through innovative therapy systems for the chronically ill.
