71. Navigating A Manufacturing Transfer During Global Disruptions 8/23/2022

    Manufacturing transfer difficulties as a result of inadequate communication or supply chain disruption can be minimized or eliminated through transparency and collaboration.

72. Critical Cleaning For 3D Printing In The Life Sciences 8/17/2022

    Here, we focus on the critical cleaning of hard surfaces utilized in 3D printing processes across industries, such as extruded plastics, photosensitive substrates, metals, and metal alloys.

73. Textile-Engineered Tissue Scaffolds Offer Advances In Hollow Organ Regenerations 7/29/2022

    Biomedical textile engineering affords critical innovations in scaffold design, particularly where structural repeatability, spatial geometry, and engineering strength support the cellular processes in a consistent fashion. These factors illustrate the important impact that the convergence of a traditional installed base of engineering techniques–combined with new materials—offer for successful advances in regenerative medicine.

74. Implantable Fabrics Revolutionize Neurovascular Devices 7/29/2022

    In the neurovascular device segment, development is focused on minute, precision devices delivered via micro-catheters. The overarching challenge is to create components that maximize performance within a minimal deliverable profile. That’s where biomedical textiles come in.

75. Biomedical Textiles Advance Development Of Orthopedic Implants 7/29/2022

    Medical device manufacturers are expanding their portfolios with biologically based products for the repair of musculoskeletal defects ranging from bone grafting and fusion, motion-preserving spinal repair, to cartilage repair and ligament and tendon tears. 

76. What Is A Robust Quality Management System And Why Does It Matter? 6/13/2022

    When we talk about partnering with OEMs, we often reference the fact we have a very robust quality management system (QMS). It sounds great, but what does it mean for you and what does it mean for us on a day-to-day basis? Why is it imperative that both organizations have an understanding of each other’s QMS?

77. Three Considerations When Introducing A New Medical Device 6/13/2022

    When a company brings a new medical device to market, the road can be long and complex. There are several regulatory concerns to navigate. Additionally, there are some very important considerations regarding manufacturing. Manufacturing processes, assembly requirements, packaging and other factors must come into play right from the start.

78. The Benefits Of Prototyping When Manufacturing Medical Devices 6/13/2022

    Prototyping is essential when developing a new medical device or component. In fact, it is crucial throughout the manufacturing process in general, and key when bringing a new medical device to market. It might be even more important for medical devices, in some regards.    

79. Using Liquid Injection Molding (LIM) For Medical Device Manufacturing 6/13/2022

    Within the world of medical device manufacturing, liquid injection molding (LIM) is a process that provides several benefits over other methods. Product strength and reduced weight, all while being more cost effective than some other alternatives, and still producing an end product within the set parameters of the device and regulatory bodies are some of those benefits.

80. The Benefits Of Design For Manufacturability 6/13/2022

    Manufacturability describes the degree to which a product can be effectively manufactured, given its design, cost, and distribution requirements. However, it’s a part of the entire process of bringing a new component or medical device to market.
