Another opportunity to grasp the newest market trend! The 2023 Medtec Innovation Forum will focus on advanced active medical device enterprises with cutting-edge products, technologies.
Therapy developers are being asked to consider ways to deliver drugs for a longer time period with a single dose. This has spurred innovation in both the oral and parenteral spaces, but the greatest potential for long-acting delivery remains in implantable systems.
Finalists were selected from the seven categories: Aerospace & Defense, Automotive/Transportation, Consumer Product Design, Electronics/Sensors/IoT, Manufacturing/Robotics/Automation, Medical, and Sustainable Technologies/Future Energy.
In the realm of advanced medical device development, Switzerland’s Oertli Instrumente AG has transformed its prototyping and packaging processes by integrating the Mayku Mulitplier pressure former into its 3D printing workflow.
By 1980, the luer connector had become standard in the United States for connecting catheters to plastic tubing, according to a detailed history of the luer that MD+DI published in 2012. In Europe, however, the Record (also known as Rekord) was most widely used.

Nitinol grips prevent slips in Abbott’s heart valve clips
Nitinol is a key material in the heart valve clips that Abbott designed for its TriClip and MitraClip transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) systems.
How Abbott created its next-gen RF ablation system
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has generated a great deal of buzz for its potential to reduce complications in procedures for treating atrial fibrillation (AFib). But even as Abbott is developing its Volt PFA system — announcing in January that it kicked off a CE mark clinical trial of Volt — the medtech giant is betting that tried-and-true radiofrequency (RF) ablation can still make a big difference with the right innovations.
