MPO Exclusive: 7 ‘Expanse-ive’ Medical Devices

7 'Expanse-ive' Medical Devices -

 

The May 14, 2020 Online edition of  Medical Product Outsourcing (MPO) features 7 ‘Expanse-ive’ Medical Devices – A medical designer’s (very) informal review of sci-fi props in “The Expanse.”

Nigel Syrotuck, StarFish Medical Mechanical Engineering Team Lead, explains “I’ve noted before how the magnetic boots in the “The Expanse” fascinate me, and the latest fourth season was packed full of more medical devices than ever before. Keeping with the quality of the show (yes, I’m a fan), they are so realistic, as a medical device designer I can’t help but imagine how they would actually work as a real design.”

Syrotuck then explores seven different medical devices from the program and analyses them accordingly:

  • What’s accurate?
  • What’s plausible?
  • What’s implausible?
  • Final assessment

“Overall, the medical devices were pretty cool to think about, and fairly realistic for a sci-fi show. I hope you enjoyed this light-hearted review. I love that medical devices are actually a feature of this show—I’m looking forward to what season five has in store!” concludes author and fanboy, Nigel Syrotuck.
