Micro Ophthalmic Ocular Implants Donna Bibber shares insight about micro ophthalmic ocular implants and the continued impact of micro mold manufacturing on worldwide growth in the next five years. Micro ophthalmic and intraocular implants continue to be one of the largest and fastest-growing global micro medical and pharma micro device market sectors. Driven by a baby boomer aging population, technology innovations, and vast, rapidly emerging markets in China and India, the ophthalmic devices sector is expected to attain a double-digit growth. Age-related eye diseases such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and macular degeneration (to name only a few) continue to cause significant or complete loss of vision.  Since ophthalmic and intraocular implants are largely made up of many micro-sized and highly precise components and assemblies, it's easy to understand the…

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…
