The Evolution of Structural Heart Innovations

Structural heart innovations have transformed treatment for patients who once faced open heart surgery as their only option. As minimally invasive procedures like transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) gained ground, device developers began facing new engineering challenges to solve: smaller delivery systems, improved sealing performance and reliable manufacturability at scale without compromising quality or patient […]

Streamline Medical Device Design By Engaging Early With a Biomaterials Expert

Medical device design starts at raw material selection. However, medical device and delivery system manufacturers often need foundational guidance about medical device textiles and polymers — how they’re made, how they function inside a device, and how to choose the right materials based on application. Different considerations often apply to raw material selection, prototyping, and […]
