Medical device companies are about to get a hard audit from hospitals. Read this critical advice from someone going through it now.
Traditional spinal fusion device markets continue to experience regular growth. This trend is applied across fixation devices, interbody devices, vertebral compression fracture (VCF) treatment, and other product segments. The major competitive limiters are expected to be minimally invasive devices and motion preservation. However, traditional devices currently enjoy a strong advantage over the latter in reimbursement and clinical research.
A diabetic foot ulcer is a serious open sore or wound found in about 15 percent of diabetic patients. Since these ulcers could lead to amputation in up to 24 percent of those who develop one, prevention is of great importance to both the patient and medical professional. Would you be willing to step on a device that looks like a bathroom scale each morning for 20 seconds to help ensure your mobility?
The long-term vision for wearables in healthcare includes an active role restoring patient health, preventing certain diseases by promoting behavioral changes, and ultimately, promoting healthier lifestyles, leading to improved overall health.
Advances in sensors, smartphones, communications, and analytics give developers new tools to build creative and powerful applications that promise to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
As component sizes for medical devices shrink to micron size, conventional machining may not be the most efficient or consistent method for manufacturing. Learn why Micro-MIM is preferred for components with tight tolerances at high volumes.
A key aspect to a successful medical device development project is a dedicated outsourcing partner who can provide engineering expertise that includes sustaining engineering. Sustaining engineering enables the developer to plan ahead, getting the development and design of the device done right the first time, and smoothing the transition to manufacturing. This article discusses the importance of sustaining engineering, and KMC's executive director of engineering, Scott Leon, weighs in on the subject.
The business pain of switching suppliers, both in terms of costs and revalidation time, heightens the importance of making the right decision the first time.
