For manufacturers of orthopedic surgical devices, the design of sterile packaging can add significant value, supporting sterile robustness in storage and transportation, enhancing the user experience for surgical teams, and optimising the lifecycle solution for cost sustainability. Our 20 years of experience in sterile barrier packaging development - combined with decades of orthopedics manufacturing expertise from the wider SteriPack Group - enables us to troubleshoot, provide a range of unbiased design options for consideration, and give practical consideration to manufacturing constraints. If you would like to discuss how we can help you with the design, development and manufacture of your orthopedic packaging or product, we would love to hear from you. #Orthopedics #Manufacturing #Healthcare https://lnkd.in/eYTyuhV9

People with Mild Cognitive Impairments (PwMCI's) are generally older people within the 65+ bracket, who struggle more with their memory and completing complex tasks. While we have a growing ageing population globally, older PwMCI's still continue to be over-looked in study design and usability studies. What are the considerations to be aware of when conducting usability studies with people displaying signs of mild cognitive impairments? Our Business Development Manager, Natalie Shortt explores this further, and looks at how this audience's vital participation can be better supported.

Yesterday our team attended the first BSI Young Professionals Exchange at the Barbican, in collaboration with Black Young Professionals, and came away feeling incredibly inspired about the future of standards development, both in the UK and globally. The networking event aimed to provide young professionals and like-minded professionals with an opportunity to understand how the UK's national standards body shapes industry and the world around us. It also provides a space to enable young professionals to network with industry specialists. The event touched on standards being written to support menstrual health, sustainable futures and AI. We're excited to be a part of the growing future of standards development and are looking forward to seeing what is next within this space.
