In a research conducted by scientists at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) a new drug release mechanism has been developed which uses 3-D superhydrophobic materials.
Pioneer Surgical Technology, a company specializing in medical devices, has announced the launch of its expanded production facility located in Greenville, North Carolina. The location accommodates the major production operations of the company’s biologic products marketed in the European and the US region.
Developed for rigorous bonding and sealing in demanding manufacturing applications, Master Bond EP3HTSMED epoxy system features a rapid cure schedule and a tensile shear strength exceeding 1,000 psi. It is 100% reactive and fully meets USP Class VI requirements for medical applications.
Pioneer Surgical, a company specializing in medical devices, has announced the start of human clinical study of its three-dimensionally shaped bone graft product called nanOss Bioactive 3D that consists of a proprietary collagen-based biopolymer and nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite to support the growth of bone in the posterolateral spine.
A research team led by Dr. Christian Russel from the Otto-Schott-Institute for Glass Chemistry, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, has developed a novel glass-ceramic material with a nanocrystalline structure, which can be used in dentistry applications thanks to its optical properties and superior strength.
Laurel BioComposite finished its continuous initial 30-day production run at its novel pilot facility producing 90,000 lbs. of Bio-Res for customer tests scheduled for December 2011 and January 2012.
The Food and Drug Administration of the US (FDA) has entered into a collaborative agreement with Austen BioInnovation Institute in Akron (ABIA) for the support and development of regulatory science related to the efficient use of biomaterials in medical devices.
Three new advanced resin grades from Cereplast have received the DIN CERTCO certifications of compostability. The Compostable 3002, Compostable 3010, and Compostable 3020 resin grades have improved properties and are designed for applications on blown film extruder lines during compostable bag manufacture.
Wear debris and fatigue fracture have been identified as some of the major problems associated with failure of medical devices. While these problems cannot be completely avoided, medical device manufacturers use ASPEX Analytical SEM-EDX testing services to inspect for and characterize wear properties in their products prior to distribution.
Researchers at the Juelich Research Center and the Technische Universitaet Muenchen have for the first time shown a transistor array based on graphene that can be used with live biological cells and can record the electrical signals generated by the cells, paving the way for studying the possibility of developing bioelectronics based on graphene.
