Micro Molding Revolution: Small Tech, Big Impact

Micro Molding Revolution: Small Tech, Big Impact

Capabilities, Surgical Supplies
Our new partner, Isometric Micro Molding, is a leader in the fascinating world of miniaturization. But what exactly does that mean? Buckle up because we're about to shrink down to a whole new scale!The Mighty Micron: Measuring the MiniatureThe key to understanding miniaturization lies in a unit so small it's invisible to the nakedeye: the micron. One micron is a mere millionth of a meter (written as 10^-6 meters), or an even tinier 1/26,000th of an inch. It also goes by a few other names: micrometer, micrometre, or the symbol μm.A World Beyond SightThe micron is our ruler for the minuscule. Objects just one micron wide requires magnification to be seen The good ol' human eye can generally only distinguish particles around 40 microns in size.Putting It in PerspectiveImagine a human…

A Common Myth in Medical Device Manufacturing: Line Transfers Are Easy

A Common Myth in Medical Device Manufacturing: Line Transfers Are Easy

Capabilities, Surgical Supplies
by Amy Jeary Line transfers are a common occurrence in the medical device industry. However, many people believe that line transfers are easy. This is a misconception. Line transfers can be complex and time-consuming, and there are many pitfalls that can derail a project: 1. Trusting Outdated Processes Line transfers often involve a lot of moving parts, and it is important to have a clear understanding of all the steps involved. If you underestimate the complexity of the transfer or have an over reliance on outdated processes, you may end up running into problems down the road. 2. Thinking All Line Transfers Are the Same This is not true. Each line transfer is unique, and it is important to tailor the approach to the specific project. Testing and validation criteria…

Proven Results: Precision Machining and Manufacturing Are Revolutionizing Surgical Robotics

Capabilities, Surgical Supplies
by Amy Jeary Surgical robotics has already revolutionized many surgical applications and will continue to do so, allowing for minimally invasive procedures that result in faster recovery times, less pain, and fewer complications for patients. However, the success of robotic surgeries depend on the precision and accuracy of the console’s individual components, and this is where precision machining and manufacturing come in. Precision machining and manufacturing involve the use of advanced computer-controlled machines to produce highly accurate and consistent components. In surgical robotics, these critical components include the end-effectors and patient interfacing instruments, camera and visualization instruments, the surgeon’s control module, and robotic arms for translating motion. To achieve the precision required in surgical robotics, manufacturers use a variety of techniques, such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and…
