Italy's medical sector is already starting to feel the effects of its ageing demographic, a trend that is set to affect the whole of Europe.
Synthetic human tissues and body parts that closely resemble the live human environment have been developed for use in medical device verification and validation tests. This article discusses how they can save time and money while improving quality and accuracy.
Plasma technology offers a highly effective toolbox for nanoscale surface engineering of materials. The potential variety of nanoscale features and new properties that can be achieved are reviewed here.
Surface chemistry determines biological interactions at the interface of a medical device. Novel technology is described here that allows engineers to build into the polymer the type of surface that is required for a particular device application. How the technology operates and its possibilities for use in disposables, implantables and prostheses are examined.
This is the first article in a series on the impact nanotechnology is having on different types of devices. It considers how lab-on-a-chip approaches in diagnostics are evolving and discusses some areas of future development.
Medical device companies do not always realise that United States and European test requirements can be significantly different. Not addressing these differences can be costly when retesting or device redesign becomes necessary. This article discusses some of these differences and ways to help avoid repeat testing.
Metallic fracture fixation devices such as bone plates and screws are increasingly being replaced by bioresorbable implants. The next stage is to use bioresorbable materials for high strength fixation such as fixation of the femur or humerus. Work on developing and testing materials for this type of application is reported here.
