In the healthcare industry, plastics’ role is more profound than what the average person sees every day. Plastics maintain sterility with packaging and gloves, enable precise drug delivery through syringes, and are critical in life- saving equipment like heart valves and dialysis machines. Devices and components such as these often tip the scales in life threatening situations and can directly ...
The field of medicine is constantly evolving, with new procedures and technologies emerging that improve patient outcomes and reduce recovery times. As these innovations advance, the materials that make them possible become increasingly important. One such group of materials, fluoropolymers, is proving to be essential for a variety of cutting-edge medical procedures. Known for their exceptional ...
In honor of World Heart Day on September 29, we're diving into the world of cardiovascular diagnostics. Echocardiography, one of the most widely used screening and diagnostic modalities in healthcare, has seen a resurgence thanks to advances and groundbreaking innovations within the last few years. Join us as we explore the top trends shaping these diagnostic methods. 1. ...
Medical devices are an essential component of healthcare, and they have significantly improved the quality of life for many patients worldwide. These devices may be categorised by their intended use and range from simple non-invasive items to fully implantable devices. The Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (MDD) is a regulation that sets out the essential requirements that medical devices must ...
Dental Problems Linked To Heart Disease and Diabetes Over the last ten years there has been a growing body of evidence linking periodontal disease and systemic diseases. Every day new research is making the link stronger. Periodontal infection is the advanced stages of gum disease that causes bone loss. The bone loss is irreversible. Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease and with early ...
Titanium and its alloys have many advantages as surgical implant materials, such as low density, high strength, good toughness, good biocompatibility, non-toxicity, low elastic modulus, good corrosion resistance, and low X-ray absorption rate Etc., thus occupying an increasingly important position in medical metal materials. Titanium and its alloys can be used for the repair and replacement of ...
Metal samples are extracted in solvent and measured on Sitelab's analyzers. The UVF-3100 and TD-500D display the concentration of oil in ppm units. Test results can be converted to mg/sq-meter if the surface area is known, which is often required for certain applications. ...
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) is a general term for the glycan part of proteoglycan macromolecules. Glycosaminoglycans are large linear polysaccharides composed of repeating disaccharide units, and their main configuration contains amino sugars and uronic acids (glucuronic acid and/or iduronic acid). Glycosaminoglycans can be divided into chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate, ...
Although many nitinol applications are not well-known to the public, some applications are quite routine and familiar. The spectacle frame made of Nitinol severely deformed and then returned to normal. Similarly, a few years ago, when mobile phone antennas were made of Nitinol, they could bend without breaking or permanently bending. Another superelastic application of Nitinol is for orthodontic ...
Abstract The goal of this study is to develop unique native endothelium mimicking nanomatrices and evaluate their effects on adhesion and spreading of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and aortic smooth muscle cells (AoSMCs). These nanomatrices were developed by self-assembly of peptide amphiphiles (PAs) through a solvent evaporation technique. Three PAs, one containing the ...
An estimated 2.4 million American children and adults are currently living with congenital heart defects (CHDs). Learn more about different types of CHDs, causes and treatment options. Learning that your child has a CHD can be a scary and overwhelming experience, but it’s important to know that you’re not alone. Nearly 40,000 infants in the U.S. are born each year with CHDs, and ...
Artificial hearts may sound like science fiction, but they’ve actually been in clinical use to help end-stage heart failure patients for more than 35 years — here’s what you should know. As the number of patients suffering from heart disease has increased over the years, so too has the need for heart transplants. Unfortunately, the global supply of donor hearts remains limited, ...
In-vivo Evaluation Of A Novel Surgical Heart Valve Prosthesis Designed To Be Durable, Anticoagulant-free And Silent. Bart Meuris, Lucas Van Hoof, Wilm Decré, Marie Lamberigts, Tom Langenaeken, Peter Verbrugghe. KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium. OBJECTIVE: Heart valves prostheses still face limitations: reoperations with tissue valves or lifelong anticoagulation with mechanical valves. The ...
Ancora Heart Inc., a Santa Clara, Calif.-based company looking to help those with heart failure, is heralding results from an interim analysis of patients treated in a U.S. early feasibility study evaluating the safety of the investigational Accucinch ventricular repair system. The multicenter, nonrandomized, prospective study is assessing the system in patients with symptomatic heart failure ...
The Indian Medical Devices industry is mostly import-dependent with no specific regulations in place till recent times. With the introduction of MDR (Medical Device Rules 2017) attempt has been made to harmonize the Indian medical device Industry as per globally prevailed ...
Division of Neuroradiology, Department of Radiology University of Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, PA Purpose MR imaging is presumed hazardous in many patients with retained bullets, shot, and some aneurysm clips. Even though most bullets 1 and aneurysm clips are safe to scan, radiologists should be hesitant to perform MR in patients with metal when the composition is unknown. The purpose of ...
