Nick and Nigel walk through how sterile disposables are processed and verified before they reach the field.
-
With the release of ISO 14644-5:2025, Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments, Part 5: Operations, the standard places increased emphasis on operational discipline, human factors, and contamination control behaviour.
-
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.
-
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.
-
When Ariana Wilson and Mark Drlik take apart a common appliance, they uncover engineering principles that connect directly to medtech.
-
Your team is ready for design validation. The prototype performs well, test plans are in motion, and everything points to a smooth handoff to manufacturing. Then your partner calls with bad news: they can’t build the device as designed.
