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.

Component Selection Considerations for Sensor-Driven Medical Devices

Companies 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.

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.”

How to Improve Instructions for Use

Celera Motion Debuts Omni+ 130mm Direct Drive Motor for Surgical Robots

Celera Motion, a business unit of Novanta, recently announced a new version of its direct drive frameless motor Omni+ series, the Omni+ 130mm motor, which is now the largest of the series.  Additionally, the company offers Omni+ 100mm, Omni+ 70mm, and Omni+ 60mm.

Sensors: The Heart of Minimally Invasive Equipment Technology

Through the years, minimally invasive equipment technology has grown exponentially, offering new ways for doctors to diagnose and treat their patients.

Stratasys and CollPlant Partner to Bioprint Breast Implants

When it comes to 3D printing in healthcare, a long-term goal has been to print human tissue that can potentially be grown into new organs. While 3D printing a new heart for a patient isn’t currently a reality, a growing number of companies are developing their own methods of printing tissue that can be used in implants, and, they hope, eventually organs.

Supercapacitor Patch Could Solve Power Problem for Wearables

Wearable Sensor Could Guide Precision Drug Dosing

For some of the powerful drugs used to fight infection and cancer, there’s only a small difference between a healing dose and a dose that’s large enough to cause dangerous side effects.

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.
