A Checklist: Top 10 Considerations in Choosing a Medical Device Contract Manufacturer
The global medical device outsourcing market size was estimated at $128.8 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow 12.8% per year from 2024 to 2030. For many medical device manufacturers (OEM), the only way to compete in this growing market is to outsource part, or sometimes all, of their design, prototyping, supply chain management, manufacturing, assembly, testing, and packaging to a qualified contract manufacturer.

The Troubleshooter: How to Interpret Plastic Injection Molding Data
This article will identify the data collection points that best identify system failures. It will also recommend approaches to recognizing system failures and explain how to adjust and improve production scores.
Additive Manufacturing Can Be a Superpower, If You Know How to Use It
As with any other type of manufacturing process for medical devices, additive manufacturing (AM) requires a specific and careful approach during the design and production-approval phases. When the proper steps are taken during the early stages of development, AM can serve as a powerful production resource.
Exploring the Versatility of MEMS Pressure Sensors
MEMS sensors are made of a piezoresistive diaphragm connected to a Wheatstone-bridge circuit
They respond to pressure change and generate a proportional electrical current
Compare MEMS sensors with fiber-optic and fluid-filled sensors
Navigating the complexities of micromoulding for medical devices
Micromoulding is a specialised form of injection moulding that produces extremely small, high-precision parts, often with intricate features and complex geometries. In the medical device industry, Micromoulding has become an indispensable technology due to the trend towards miniaturisation and the increasing complexity of medical devices.
Begin With the End in Mind When Developing Wearable Devices
Dave Liebl, chief commercial & technology officer at Intricon, has one main piece of advice for wearable biosensor manufacturers. “If you think there’s a chance that your device would be a medically approved and recognized data source for making medical diagnoses or deliver therapeutic values, then you should start the development of that product with that in mind,” he said in a recent interview with Design News.
