Emerging Biologics: Breaking Down Barriers with Device Companies and the FDA
January 3, 2013 3:29 pm | by Christopher Velis | Articles | CommentsMedical devices and man-made materials have achieved major advances over recent decades. However, a new drumbeat is sounding in healthcare, as the steady growth in the use of biologics in medical procedures is gaining traction. Man-made materials will always have a place in the case of acute trauma, but biologics have the potential to take over as the most effective solution for degenerative conditions.

5 Key Considerations for Working with Biomedical Textiles
January 2, 2013 4:28 pm | by Todd Blair | Articles | CommentsAs concerns over many implant materials, including metals, grow, medical device engineers are increasingly looking to biomedical textiles to aid in device design and implant performance. The advantages for more biomimetic functions are vast, but in order to satisfy performance requirements, there are a number of key considerations engineers must be prepared to address. Every decision, from biomaterial selection to processing technique, must be carefully assessed by a contract manufacturing partner with specialized medical textile expertise to develop a device that both delivers clinically and meets all compliance standards for regulatory approval.

Connected Medical Devices—An Expanding Threat Landscape
December 19, 2012 4:23 pm | by Nate Kube | Articles | CommentsIn 2008, a team of academic researchers shook up the connected medical device community by presenting a paper at an IEEE Symposium, which outlined a potential attack on implanted cardiac devices through the wireless interface. While this initially raised some concern, it was not until Jay Radcliffe demonstrated a potential attack through the wireless interface of a patient-worn insulin pump that awareness of medical device security issues “exploded,” prompting a U.S. Government Accountability Office inquiry into medical device security issues, and a media blitz that continues to this day.
