  • Two professionals discussing strategies for repurposing medical devices into new market sectors, sitting at a table with mugs featuring their names (Nick and Joris) and a star logo. The background is a blurred office or laboratory setting. The overlay text reads, 'New Markets Ahead! Repurposing Medical Devices,' in bold purple and black fonts, emphasizing innovation and market expansion.

    Bio Break: Strategies for Expanding Market Reach

    Nick and Joris explore the fascinating world of repurposing existing medical device technologies for new market sectors. As engineers and innovators, we often focus on creating brand-new solutions, but what about leveraging tried-and-true technologies to expand into untapped markets? This strategy not only opens doors to new revenue streams but also maximizes the potential of existing innovations.

    Grand Challenges in Neuroscience

    In the webinar “Grand Challenges in Neuroscience” from January 21, 2025, Dr. Jacob Hooker, Lurie Family Professor of Radiology and Scientific Director at the Lurie Center for Autism at Massachusetts General Hospital, joins Nick Allan, Bio Services Manager at StarFish Medical, to discuss some of the biggest hurdles in neuroscience today. The conversation explores the complex interplay between chemistry, biology, and medical device engineering, offering insights into the latest innovations in neurotherapeutics, molecular imaging, and non-invasive drug delivery technologies.

  • Three team members collaborating at a workstation in a modern office environment. One person in a blue shirt is pointing at a computer screen displaying a colorful 3D model, while another operates the mouse. The workspace features a green wall, shelving with supplies, and a small plant on the desk, creating a dynamic and engaging atmosphere.

    Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) Modeling is Transforming the Medical Device Industry  

    Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling is transforming the medical device industry by simulating complex dynamics between biological fluids and medical devices. In a field where safety and precision are paramount, FSI modeling offers engineers and researchers a powerful tool to design, test, and optimize devices in a virtual environment before physical prototypes are created or clinical trials are conducted. 

  • Two laboratory professionals in cleanroom attire, including hair covers, masks, and gloves, working in a high-tech lab. One person is using a microscope at a workstation, while the other operates a machine in the background. The environment is clean and well-organized, featuring advanced scientific equipment and tools.

    8 Cleanroom Best Practices to Maintain a CLEAN State 

    Cleanroom best practices are crucial to maintain a contamination-free environment, especially in industries like pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, biotechnology, healthcare, and medical devices. Here are some essential guidelines for ensuring your cleanroom is indeed clean.

  • A team of professionals sitting in a conference room, engaged in a discussion. A large screen displays a colorful 3D design, while a whiteboard on the wall shows notes and diagrams. The table is equipped with laptops, notepads, and engineering tools, emphasizing a collaborative work environment.

    Medical Device Design Transfer Process

    Medical device design transfer is a critical phase in the development process, marking the transitory phase from the design and development stage to manufacturing.  This phase ensures that the medical device continues to meet its safety, effectiveness, and regulatory compliance once production begins.  It is the final phase in the development process and sometimes overlooks or underestimates the amount of time and effort required to ensure that final manufactured devices meet requirements.
