A Miniaturized Robotic-Assisted Surgery System

The advancements in the design of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) systems continue to aim toward enabling operations to be performed through small incisions. This is done by providing the surgeon the ability to control robotic arms and cameras with precision. The goal of RAS is to help surgeons perform procedures reproducibly in a minimally invasive manner, which, in turn, can lead to advantages such as reduced pain and shorter hospital stays.

Component Selection Considerations for Sensor-Driven Medical Devices

ompanies introducing new sensor-driven technology into the biosensor market must make careful, strategic decisions during the design phase if their products are to compete with established players. Often lost in the excitement of burgeoning product ideas is the need for component compatibility, but this is a critical consideration that significantly impacts market viability.

What Is a Hypodermic Tube?

As mentioned, hypotubing was developed to be used as needles for injecting or withdrawing body fluids. But in addition to this most common use case, such tubing has been used for decades in guidewires, like those used to install stents in obstructed vessels.

3 inevitable innovations in materials for 3D printing orthopedics

3D printing for orthopedics is one of the most promising applications of additive manufacturing for medical devices.3D printing is already used to manufacture orthopedic implants and tools by device developers as large as Stryker — the world’s biggest orthopedics manufacturer — and startups like Restor3d.

Exploring Cell Technology for Medical Applications

“Medical devices are used in various environments – in hospitals, doctor’s offices, in patient’s homes, and even in the patient. Ensuring safe use and reliable performance starts at the design phase — decisions made throughout the development process will ultimately impact the device’s overall safety, reliability, and performance.”
