12.17.20 -- Med Device Online Top 10 Of 2020
 

Hindsight is 20/20, or, in this case, 2020 is now in hindsight! We’ve scrambled to curb COVID-19’s surge, and we’ve made time to understand the nuances in the EU’s MDR and IVDR, among other focus points. 2021 will have its own challenges, but I’m confident our medical device community will rise to meet those trials just as adeptly. This newsletter highlights the most popular guest columns, industry insights, and solutions on Med Device Online this year.

Without your participation and readership, we would not be able to continue with our efforts to connect experts around the world who are dedicated to the development of life-improving, life-extending, and life-saving medical devices. If you or someone you know would like to contribute a thought leadership article in 2021, please email us at editor@meddeviceonline.com. We'd love to hear from you.

Have a happy holiday season and a prosperous new year!
