November 2023 Medical Device Handbook: Breaking new ground in medtech

Breaking new ground in medtech

This year has brought a flurry of firsts from medical device manufacturers as they develop new and improved products despite continued supply chain and economic challenges.

These device innovations have been in the works for years, pushed forward by teams ranging from small startups to the world’s largest medtech companies — and all with help from outsourcing partners.

All of these industry players have come together once again in our latest edition of the Medical Design & Outsourcing Medical Device Handbook to offer uniquely relevant and actionable advice for device designers and engineers.

This edition includes tips and advice on components, drug delivery, manufacturing, machining, molding, materials, orthopedics, product design, development, regulatory matters, reimbursement, software, and tubing. All of these articles are also available in our online Medical Device Handbook, which includes content across all of those categories from previous handbook editions.

Learn from the teams behind:

  • Abbott’s dual-chamber, leadless pacemakers;
  • LimFlow’s breakthrough system for saving feet from amputation;
  • Canary Medical’s smart ortho implant;
  • iRhythm’s next-generation cardiac monitoring patch;
  • Medtronic’s Harmony transcatheter pulmonary valve;
  • Insulet’s Omnipod 5 automated insulin delivery system;
  • Stryker’s cementless knee;
  • expanded indications for J&J MedTech products using real-world evidence;
  • and surgical robotics systems from Intuitive and Moon Surgical.

You’ll find all this and more in our latest Medical Device Handbook. As always, I hope you enjoy this edition of Medical Design & Outsourcing — and thanks for reading.
