How a 1969 Battery Ad Inspired a Medical Device Invention

The year was 1969 and Robert Fischell was lying on the couch in his living room, reading IEEE Spectrum, a magazine published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, when he saw an advertisement that would lead to one of the world’s greatest medical device inventions.

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. Bulky external health devices, like ECG monitors, spinal stimulators, and insulin pumps, are now slim and discrete. The patient benefits of these advances can be life-changing with improved physical comfort and mental well-being. However, for manufacturers, it is a challenge to design and build these new miniaturized complex devices.

Steerable Soft Robots Could Enhance Medical Applications

The researchers created the fibers with the thermal drawing process commonly used to produce fiber optic cables, similar to pulling a long string of cheese from a fondue and letting it harden. Material choice was critical, with elastomers.

9 Challenges Facing Device Manufacturers & How to Minimize Them

To optimize the product change workflow, it’s essential for these various functions to integrate their actions. This integration allows them to implement a rugged solution to overcome the challenges and move the product modifications forward to allow global distribution and importation of the finished manufactured product.
