MED engineering is the trade journal for designers and developers of medical devices for patient-oriented diagnosis and therapy for all medical specialties, as well as for laboratory and surgical equipment.
In the current issue, you can find out interesting facts about these new developments, among other things:
1. More precision in the OR
The SpaceMouse module from Megatron enables one-handed control of multi-axis robots. The joystick is used, for example, in the innovative Micromate robot platform, which was specially designed for minimally invasive procedures. The SpaceMouse module is used here to position the surgical needle.
2. Digital communication: open source as a sustainable solution
Digitalization poses major challenges for the healthcare sector, particularly in the areas of data protection, cyber security and IT sovereignty. EU regulations are increasing the requirements for secure communication infrastructures and data protection.
3. Sustainable packaging for medical products
They are hygienic, durable, lightweight and reliably protect medicines and instruments from contamination: plastic containers are an indispensable part of the medical and pharmaceutical industry. However, the material itself is not biodegradable, can often only be recycled with a loss of quality and often ends up in residual waste.
