Ariana Wilson and Mark Drlik explore how bias can enter the development process and why engineers and manufacturers must actively work to prevent it.
-
Did you know that 5-8% of total national carbon footprints come from the healthcare sector? Much of this (around 80%) is general waste – such as from office work – and the rest (~20%) requires special handling due to its dangerous nature.
-
This article outlines the core elements of the PCCP framework, the types of modifications it applies to, and how the FDA expects manufacturers to use it in practice.
-
Ariana Wilson sits down with Mark Drlik to unpack why reprocessing is often one of the hardest challenges engineers face during development.
-
Nick and Nigel walk through how teams decide between ethylene oxide, E-beam, and gamma radiation sterilization.
-
In MedTech, success rarely comes from invention alone. Plenty of promising technologies make it through verification and early clinical work, only to stall when the team tries to turn them into something buildable.
-
Understanding how clinical ventilator development differs from commercial ventilator design is essential for teams planning early studies.
-
Nick walks through a practical Teflon tape lesson that came from real work supporting a mechanical test rig.
-
Most sterile medical devices begin their journey long before anyone thinks about sterilization. Teams focus on function, usability, materials, and suppliers, then discover that sterilization constraints can reshape many of those early decisions.
