11.01.22 -- Robotic Tech's Opportunities To Revolutionize Surgery

In this two-part series from DSM Biomedical, Albert Llenas, the global marketing director of orthopedics, discusses how to select appropriate materials when developing devices for rotator cuff repairs. Defining needs up front while working with a diversified biomaterials supplier, such as DSM Biomedical, enables companies to find a material that satisfies device performance requirements.

A collaboration has been founded on the principal of bringing to market wearable injection solutions for the simple and efficient subcutaneous administration of large-volume and high-viscosity medications.

RFID technology has changed the ways in which OEMs fabricate, distribute, and market modern medical devices and provides medical facilities and their patients with real and measurable benefits.

Learn about a new manufacturing-friendly tool that allows you to establish numerical standards and measure four conditions of surface quality: gloss, haze, image clarity, and bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), including Canon’s new parameter, “Scattering C20, C60.” 

Precise miniature plastic parts are the result of exact tooling processes such as micro-tooling and micro-injection molding. By understanding the tolerances of these tooling processes, it’s possible to achieve repeatability and part accuracy for even the most advanced micro medical device.

Open-source designs and production plans run the gamut from simple high-level guidelines to complete sets of CAD files, detailed work instructions, source code files, bills of material, and regulatory/test requirements to produce FDA-certified classes 2 and 3 medical devices.
