Choosing a material for new Medical Device Development can have a major influence throughout your medical device life cycle, from design, prototyping, testing, regulatory approvals, and mass production to commercialization and even disposal. Every material has certain characteristics, which should be in consistent with the properties of the medical device as well as final applications.

What Materials Work Best for Your Medical Device Development?

There’s a lot to think about when it comes to plastics for medical parts. At the top of the list are safety and, for parts going inside the body, longevity. So, which is the best to choose for your application?

Plastic that meets medical needs

Success lies in open innovation and forging partnerships to further develop deep-tech, medical applications for its technology. So, at first glance, Eindhoven and its semiconductor and deep-tech focus isn’t the obvious place for a pharma company. Yet the founders of Emultech knew they needed to be here, and time has proved them right.

Complex surgical procedures place high demands on medical devices. In order to meet the growing regulatory requirements for medical devices, a strict quality control process must be observed and implemented during the manufacturing of the products.

Inspection of Multi-Part Medical Devices

A new method for the miniaturisation of biosensors will enable new possibilities for minimally invasive implants. The miniaturised transistors are fabricated on thin, flexible substrates, and amplify biosignals, producing currents more than 200 times larger than analogous alternatives.

Miniaturised biosensors for minimally invasive implants

Matroid's deep-learning system comprising of 3D-CNN helps to automatically detect Glaucoma from a single raw Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scan. The results are close to human doctors across heterogeneous datasets and scanning environments.

Computer Vision Inspecting the Human Eye

Springs, squeegees and soda straws function with a common property — they are rigid in one direction and flexible in another. Structures like these, with properties that vary across dimensions, have played critical roles in human technology from the longbow to the booster rocket.

These engineers drew inspiration from geometrical frustration

Digitization and informatization of medical imaging equipment provide reliable help to remote medical diagnosis and treatment by means of internet technology, improve medical diagnosis and treatment in remote and out-of-step areas, carry out remote operation with surgical robots
