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.
Is Digital Health Evolving Too Quickly?
Digital health is evolving in leaps and bounds, which could be threatening its success. Digital healthcare faces a significant challenge: it is evolving too rapidly for its target market. Health systems struggle to develop new workflows that effectively integrate these technologies, and trying to force them into legacy processes often adds more problems to an overburdened system.
Four Bold Predictions for Medtech in 2025: AI Everywhere, Faster Releases, and Rising Risks
Four promising trends that medtech companies should be aware of heading into 2025 to stay ahead of competition.
The Future of Smart Implants and the AI Dilemma
Smart implants are not just another advancement in medical technology. They are the next frontier in human health, offering real-time monitoring, adaptive treatments, and a level of personalized medicine that once belonged to science fiction. But the promise of AI-driven implants comes with risks too big to ignore.
Bioprinting Artificial Organs in Space to Benefit Human Life on Earth
Recent successes in cultivating human heart tissue, knee cartilage, and pharmaceutical crystals in space have relied on technology that was initially developed decades ago with support from NASA.
Drug Delivery Implant Advantages & Design Considerations
An implantable drug delivery system is a surgically implanted medical device designed to deliver a drug in a controlled fashion directly to targeted tissues or organs.
Laser-Made, Ultra-Thin Material Enables Precise, Self-Powered Tracking of Healing Wounds
A major challenge in self-powered wearable sensors for healthcare monitoring is distinguishing different signals when they occur at the same time.
How silicone is meeting healthcare’s toughest device challenges
Part one of this series focuses on medical-grade silicone’s use in life-critical devices, including how it balances moisture and its importance in wound care and implants. Part two focuses on how to navigate material choices and leverage innovations like pigments and multilayer designs for complex devices.
Nanocellulose: A Bright Future for Medical Devices?
Nanocellulose is emerging as a transformative material in the medtech sector, offering an exceptional combination of biocompatibility, sustainability, and mechanical versatility. With increasing demand for eco-friendly and non-animal-derived materials, nanocellulose is poised to revolutionize medical device design and manufacturing.
Proof of Life: The Rapid Evolution of Biosensors for Fitness, Health, and Wellness
Biosensors are devices that can monitor physiological states, like heart rate or blood pressure, or detect biological parameters such as glucose levels or the presence of specific proteins in the blood.
U.S. Tariffs: Implications and Strategies for Medtech Manufacturers
In a dramatic shift that could reshape the medical device industry, the U.S. government’s sweeping tariff hikes — particularly a 125 percent levy on Chinese goods — have sparked both alarm and opportunity among U.S. medtech manufacturers.
This breakthrough for high-resolution disposable endoscopes comes from an unlikely source
Two trends are dictating the evolution of endoscopes: higher quality imaging and a transition to disposable architectures.
Each of these introduce new challenges for system designers. The breakthrough might come from an unlikely source: The automotive industry.
When Models Fail: Bridging the Gap Between Analytical Models and Empirical Data
Neither analytical models nor physical experiments are sufficient on their own. Progress comes from their interplay, each informing and helping to refine the other. We can resolve discrepancies and deepen our understanding of complex systems by embracing an iterative, informed, systematic approach. And get on with the job of designing and developing the medical device that fills needs and improves lives.
Transformative Medical Device Testing
The medical device industry is on the brink of profound transformation, driven by breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI), wearables, additive manufacturing (AM), and enhanced cybersecurity. Medical device manufacturers (MDMs) are starting to embrace the integration of automation, digitization, and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. So far in 2025, testing firms report increased interest in the end-of-life use of reusable devices, human factors testing for instructions for use (IFU), and low-temperature sterilization methods for temperature-sensitive devices.
Incorporating Medical Device Risk Management into QMS Protocol
How to improve current risk management processes, ensur […]
The Critical Role of Supply Chain Visibility for Post-Market Surveillance
In recent years, medical device regulators have implemented stricter requirements for post market surveillance (PMS), as seen in frameworks like the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), the In Vitro Diagnostics Regulation (IVDR), and the UK’s Statutory Instrument (SI) coming into effect on June 16, 2025.
How Early FDA Engagement Can Accelerate Medical Device Approval & Reduce Market Delays
By interacting with FDA as early as medical device conception, and taking advantage of one or more FDA programs, manufacturers can shorten their time to market and significantly reduce expenditures.
How metal 3D printing is transforming the way surgical tools are made
Application breakthroughs in fields from prosthetics to implants to regenerative medicine owe a lot to recent advances in 3D printing. This technology, also referred to as additive manufacturing, is now able to manage increasingly complex geometries, opening the door to applications such as drug delivery devices and smart surgical tools.
Will Abbott Have a Strong Year for M&A?
During a 4Q23 earnings call, Ford was asked by an analyst about Abbott’s strong balance sheet, which was described as “$20 billion worth of firepower”, and if that would prompt the company to become involved with acquisitions this year.
