How polymer innovation is paving the way for fiber optic development
Fiber optic sensors are central to a whole host of applications, from identifying leaks in nuclear power plants to guiding surgical procedures. While the technology has evolved to detect and relay complex data, optical fibers cannot withstand harsh environments and physical hazards. When deployed in such conditions, optical fibers must be protected or modified if they are to survive and perform optimally. Failure to do so could compromise long-term reliability and may even risk the integrity of your entire project.

Tie Layer: A breakthrough solution to catheter failure
Product engineers at catheter manufacturing companies will be only too aware of the problem of delamination – the separation of material layers within the catheter. Typically, delamination issues are not detected until final testing, after catheter assembly is complete, incurring significantly high scrap costs for manufacturers.

Why emerging markets deserve more from medical device OEMs
With emerging markets set to account for a third of the industry’s global revenue by 2022*, the growth opportunity for medical OEMs is enormous. Increased GDP and greater income per capita in developing countries means patients are becoming more proactive about their health. As a result, they can afford higher quality treatment plans and devices.
