Morris Medical Monday: Pain Relief for Medical Device Compliance Management
With so many of our customers involved in the development of amazing new technologies and products in the medical field, we’re always interested to see stories like this recent one about a new implant technology that promises huge life quality gains for amputees.
According to this article, a revolutionary new technology being developed at London’s Royal National Orthopaedic hospital (RNOH) which recently completed a trial, allows artificial limbs to be attached directly to an amputee patient’s skeleton, giving them feeling and mobility far beyond that of today’s prosthetics. The the new implants, developed by the UCL/RNOH biomedical engineering institute and manufactured by Stanmore Implants, were inspired by research into how skin forms itself naturally around deer antlers. Although still in the trial stage, the prospect for wider roll-out should be good news for amputees.
Medical innovation means new medical devices
As with any new medical breakthrough, new devices and products will be developed, all of which must pass muster in terms of regulatory compliance. However, this is an area that still trips up many medical device companies, many of which are start-ups. These innovators tend to be strong in design and engineering, but weak in managing their process, so that when it comes time to prove compliance to the regulators, their pain is almost as bad as that which their devices relieve. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Polarion solutions provide a unique unified working environment that is helping leading makers of innovative medical technologies…
