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.

Control valves for home care medical devices must become more efficient

The trend to design capable medical devices for home and mobile care is not new, and most medical device manufacturers have made robust investments in this growing market.

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.

This 3D-printed heart replica mimics a pumping heart

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a 3D-printed heart replica that pumps and looks like a human heart.

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.
