Why Advanced Sensors Are Crucial Within Medical Pumps
Pump failure could have fatal consequences—therefore, advanced sensors that measure force, pressure, position, temperature, and ultrasonic sensing are crucial.
Designing Feature-Rich Wearable Health and Fitness Devices
Wearable devices are transforming everything from remote patient monitoring to fitness tracking and hearing assistance.
Electrical Bone Growth Stimulators Market to Top $2B by End of Decade
Solid growth is projected for the electrical bone growth stimulators (BGS) market this decade, thanks to rising obesity rates and traffic accidents.
Telemedicine and Connectivity to Drive Material Innovation in the Near Future
The UCLA team built the barrier by depositing a thin layer of zwitterionic material to a device surface and then bonding it to the underlying substrate through UV light irradiation.
Making Fast & Easy Connections with Swelling Fluids
Many medical devices employ new and more sophisticated components in their designs. This includes the tubing and hoses used in venous access devices, drainage catheters, dialysis machines, infusion pumps, enteral feeding devices, and others that transfer fluid, medications, gases, guide wires, cameras, or other materials.
