Isometric Featured Article: “Diabetes Technology Manufacturers Seemingly on a Sugar Rush”

Articles, Isometric

Isometric Featured Article: "Diabetes Technology Manufacturers Seemingly on a Sugar Rush" Isometric Micro Molding was recently featured in a Medical Product Outsourcing (MPO) article that shared innovations in diabetes technology, market trends, and the manufacturers that support this high precision industry. As shared in the article, the latest diabetes management devices are purposely small and discreet for wearer ease. To create components so small, traditional fabrication methods can't be used. Instead, high precision components require specialized micromolding for successful manufacturing. As a medical focused micro molder, Isometric Micro Molding has the in-house capabilities and experienced team to successfully manufacture these tiny components. In fact, Isometric has even proven they can surpass previously held flow lengths and limits. Today's Diabetes Technology Requires Micron Experience "Isometric Micro Molding works in tight tolerances…

Micro Molding the Tiniest Parts On Earth

Articles, Isometric

Micro Molding the Tiniest Parts On Earth Isometric's Donna Bibber and Brent Hahn were recently interviewed by Design News about the growing trend of miniaturization and the micro molding industry. The demand is seen in many markets, from fiberoptic connectors to intraocular surgical instruments. “Our main customer base has been medical and drug delivery device OEMs. Our value is in solving miniaturized device problems for fitting into tiny spaces such as surgical endoscopes, insulin pumps, wearable devices, transdermal needle arrays to name a few,” Donna Bibber, CEO at Isometric, told Design News. “We also produce implantables, where the parts hold a slow-release drug in the body that dissolves. Or the parts hold a hernia mesh together with material that is designed to dissolve.” Donna Bibber, CEO In addition, the duo…

Donna Bibber Speaking At MD&M BIOMEDigital

Events, Isometric

Donna Bibber Speaking At MD&M BIOMEDigital Isometric's CEO, Donna Bibber, is a selected industry leader and speaker at MD&M's BIOMEDigital event. Her presentation, scheduled from 11:30-12:oopm CST on April 6th, covers risk mitigation strategies that prevent micro-molding program failures. Most importantly, she'll discuss how overcoming early technical challenges impact the reduction of costly, late-stage development project failures. Ms. Bibber's presentation was done in collaboration with Isometric’s team of subject matter experts, which have a combined industry experience of over 95 years. The compelling presentation will highlight a recent case study that demonstrates the necessary micro-molding solutions for miniaturized device applications. This technical and solutions-based presentation includes a case study from DMF through production, using micro molding and associated tooling, assembly, and CT Scanning for: • Wall thicknesses down to 50…

Micro Medical Device Chips Deliver Pinpoint Pain-Relieving Therapies

Isometric, News

Micro Medical Device Chips Deliver Pinpoint Pain-Relieving Therapies Often times in micro manufacturing, we use what has been successful in nature. Commonly, natural pressure, or piezoelectric, capillary, and venture-type actions utilize pressure and surface tension to move fluids to and through implants and needles to move blood or active ingredients to direct places in the body. Isometric Micro Molding, Inc. molds parts the size of salt crystals that are scalable and economically feasible for the treatment of intraocular, cardio, and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, diabetes, oncology skin treatment, and cardiac disease. The over-molded medical implant chips such described below is one example of the research to empirical test resulting in an enabling technology for many new micro implantable therapy devices using biocompatible micro molded polymer materials. Medical…

Tiny Medical Devices – Designing for Success (part 2)

General, Isometric, News

Tiny Medical Devices – Designing for Success (part 2) VALIDATION Picture this – your medical device is designed and you’re ready to validate the tiniest component – the technology piece that enables your intellectual property. You dive in headfirst, knowing your part has +/- 5 micron tolerances on a plastic part. You start like any engineer would start – with a solid stack-up tolerance plan and <20% gage R&R – you should be fine, right? Consider this general micro molding rule of thumb – BEFORE you even design the injection mold. If you work backward with the numbers, you’ll have ~0.0004” total tolerance Total 10 microns = (0.000397”) Tooling = 20% of 10 microns = 0.00008” (wow, really? This is difficult to do but SO critical to hitting the final…

The Merging of Medical Device Manufacturers and the Pharmaceutical Industry

General, Isometric, News

The Merging of Medical Device Manufacturers and the Pharmaceutical Industry As product technology advances and the general demand for healthcare expands, the industry line between medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies is being blurred as innovative products continue to emerge. Manufacturers are exploring new technologies that adhere to better patient compliance, improve product safety and utilize unique drug delivery methods. These new technologies include:- Small adhesive patches that are encapsulated and swallowed. Once in the body they dissolve and stick to the wall of the intestine to deliver time-released medication- Implantable devices that automatically run tests and dose medications- Transdermal patches that are embedded with micro-sized needles that deliver medication over a period of time As technology advances and healthcare treatments become more complex, the pharmaceutical and medical device industries…

Micro Scale Manufacturing

Isometric, News

The Big Trend For Small Devices is Drug Delivery One day in the late 1980s, Donna Bibber looked over the shoulder of a “mad scientist” colleague at Corning Life Sciences – he was working on lab-on-a-chip technology, and Bibber realized that it could be a game-changer. She is now Vice President of Isometric Micro Molding, which addresses the growing market need for expertise in device miniaturization. Isometric specializes in making and assembling tiny components, primarily for medical device companies. Some of the work is quite experimental – only around one approach in ten gets taken to the next level – and, as Bibber puts it, they have to “kiss a lot of frogs.” Bibber divulges the current trends and challenges in the world of the production of micro-scale drug delivery…
