1: FUTEK’s QTA141 Micro-Reaction Torque Sensor
QTA141 is a compact torque sensor with a small footprint of 22 mm in diameter and 10 mm in height. It can connect directly to a BLDC motor, which is typically used in compact medical devices.

2: ZELTWANGER’s ZEDeco Leak Tester
ZEDeco is a compact single-channel leak tester, which can measure pressure/vacuum with high accuracy and fast sample time. ZEDeco can be integrated in fully automatic production environments and will in a near future be upgraded with sensors for measuring differential flow and mass flow.

3: Zeus’s LCP Monofilament Non-Metallic Catheter Braiding
The LCP Monofilament is a non metallic high performance fiber, which is developed to replace the typical metallic reinforcement braiding in vascular catheters that needs to be compatible with MRI procedures.

4: ProPlate’s Torq-Lok
Torq-Lok is a metal monocoque structured tube made by atomically binding the metal in each strand intersection. Torq-Lok is used for enhancing torque in braided catheters.

5: ProPlate’s Vizi-Band
Vizi-Band is a radiopaque and biocompatible metal coating process, which can bind directly on catheters and other medical devices in predefined areas. Vizi-Band also eliminates the risk of long-term storage degradation by binging on an atomic level.

6: HS Design’s VECTRA WB360
VECTRA WB360 can on a single capture create a 3-dimensional image of the whole skin surface of a person in macro-quality resolution. This allows dermatologists to carefully examine and track a patient’s condition.

7: GCX’s VHM-P and VHM-PL Mounting Arm
With smooth movements, precision, cleanability, a hand actuated arm lock and much more, VHM-P and VHM-PL mounting arm is the leading adjustable moving arm in the healthcare industry.

8: Sensirion’s Single-Use Liquid Flow Sensor for Biomedical Applications
A single use liquid flow sensor for biomedical applications based on CMOSens Technology. It is cost efficient and measures even extremely low flowrates, what makes it very suitable for measuring failures such as occlusion and air-in-line in drug delivery applications.

9: Proto Labs’s Rapid Overmolding and Insert Molding
Proto lab delivers high quality two components overmolded and insert molded parts within only 15 day, making these processes suitable for both prototypes and end-use production.

11: Photometrics’s Prime 95B Scientific CMOS Camera
95B Scientific CMOS Camera delivers near perfect sensitivity and a high image to noise ration by combining Backside Illumination CMOS sensor technology, large 11µm pixels, low noise characteristics with CMOS.

10: HS Design’s Multiparticulate Dispensing Device
The Multiparticulate Dispensing Device is developed to meet the high requirements of accuracy, drug protection, safety, and product usability for a new mulitparticulate drug used for children in low-resource setting.

The future is now – 3D printed babies

The 3D-print technology has come a long way in the medical industry. Today we can expect far more than the classic plastic prototypes from the development process. There are rumours of mass production, but we’re not there yet. At least not in terms of large scale production of medical devices. The hype has vaporised and […]

How you should apply virtual DoE in the design process

You are reading the third part of an article trilogy about Design of Experiments (DoE). The trilogy covers the why, when and how to perform virtual DoE in the design process. By following these guidelines, you will experience a faster, smarter and cheaper way to get results that are vastly more reliable and ultimately a greater chance of succeeding […]

Welcome to the new member of our family

FORMLABS FORM 2 Throughout the years, people have often asked us why we do not own a 3D printer, presumably because these are marketed as an essential tool in product development. The truth is that we have been using 3D printed prototypes throughout the last decade, but having a printer at the office has never […]

Technolution congratulates Axlab on a successful launch of BiopSafe

IN THE BEGINNING OF 2014, AXLAB LAUNCHED A REVOLUTIONARY MEDICAL DEVICE FOR USE IN LABORATORIES AND CLINICS By using BiopSafe, one of the most common problems associated with handling a biopsy has been solved. The risk of being exposed to formalin has been eliminated. A risk that many doctors, veterinarians, laboratory technicians and nurses face […]
