Consider Phase Zero: The Importance of DFX to Meet Deadlines, Deliverables
In the medical device industry, there are huge pressures and incentives to file FDA 510(k) or PMA submissions to gain approval for market entry.
Designing for Manufacturing: 5 Common Startup Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)
Your medical device may be novel, easy to use, even groundbreaking. But it won’t have the chance to be any of those things to real users – and earn real revenue – if you can’t manufacture it rapidly, efficiently, and consistently.
Common Paratubing Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them
Also known as peel-apart tubing, paratubing entails a set of tubes bonded to remain bundled together until device assembly, patient care, or other pre-determined point of separation.
Could this 3D printing method create bone-like ortho implants?
Researchers in Switzerland have developed an ink that could potentially 3D print virtually any shape and gradually mineralize in a few days.
Sourcing Silicone Parts: Injection Mold or 3D Print?
Medical device manufacturers have plenty of materials to choose from when designing parts, but one of the most popular and widely used is liquid silicone rubber (LSR), more commonly and somewhat inaccurately referred to as silicone.
How Top Trends in Cleaning are Impacting Medical Device Design
Ongoing advances in medical device design are meeting patients’ demands for more portable and wearable technology.
