An information-packed, thought-provoking conference program awaits
attendees of the Medical Silicone Conference – Anaheim, Nov
3-4. Steve

Studies will discuss what medical device companies need to do to prepare
for “an evidence-based future” that he says will come from
healthcare reform.
To spur research and development efforts, Sensor Products, Inc,
Madison, NJ, is offering a 10% discount on its Pressurex
pressure-indication sensor film to accredited institutions through Nov 30.
While FDA recommends that device developers incorporate real-world
feedback into their designs, increased restrictions in hospitals make it
difficult to get early-stage designs of medical devices into actual
end-use environments. Battelle and its "neighbor" are doing something
about that.
When it comes to foot controls for medical devices and equipment
applications, there are many factors to address as detailed in a recent
Medical Design article.
Disk-shaped piezo elements by PI (Physik Instrumente) LP, Auburn,
MA, mounted directly onto a metal microdiaphragm provide the precision
drive for miniature liquid or gas pumps.
Micromachining requires little or no tooling during the design
iterations associated with medical device development, including those
used for minimally invasive surgery. Mikrotech, Kenosha, WI,
offers best-in-class multi-axis CNC and Swiss screw equipment for
prototype and short-run production.
