Voice of Customer Necessity in Medical Device Development
VOC is a scalable weapon that should be wielded throughout the entirety of a product’s lifecycle.
Designing Medical Devices with the Future in Mind
Gavin Braithwaite, CEO of Cambridge Polymer Group, said that designers must take a next-generation mindset when developing devices. Braithwaite is set to host a session titled Don’t Develop Your Device Twice: Planning for the Next Generation, and the Next, and the Next….” at MEDevice Boston.
Designing Medical Devices for the Human Touch
Human factors engineering is a critical piece of medical device development that improves user experience and is required for regulatory clearance.
Advanced Thermal Solutions in OEM Medical Device Design
Medical Device Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are increasingly seeking sophisticated thermal solutions to improve medical device performance. How does the transition from traditional heaters to advanced, layered heater technologies impacts device design?
How the Shockwave Reducer implant is designed to treat refractory angina
After buying the Neovasc Reducer, Shockwave plans another attempt at FDA approval — and to explain how the implant treats refractory angina.
High-Speed Microscale 3D Printing
3D printed microscopic particles — so small that to the naked eye they look like dust — have applications in drug and vaccine delivery, microelectronics, microfluidics, and abrasives for intricate manufacturing. However, the need for precise coordination between light delivery, stage movement, and resin properties makes scalable fabrication of such custom microscale particles challenging. Now, researchers at Stanford University have introduced a more efficient processing technique that can print up to 1 million highly detailed and customizable microscale particles a day.
