When a medical device makes it to the hospital, you know it’s been through a gauntlet of science! We’re entering the wild world of materials testing in the medical device field – you know, the stuff that makes sure medical devices are safe, strong, and ready for action! Imagine a hip implant; it’s like the MVP of body parts! Every step, jump, and dance move puts stress on it. Scientists mimic these movements in the lab by putting materials under intense pressure, bending, twisting, and stretching them to see if they can handle it. You can read the article on FTIR/micro analysis testing in our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/ggjwCUxb #FTIR

Medical devices and optical metrology are closely intertwined. It might not seem obvious, but surface analysis can reveal a lot about a hip implant's functionality or a stent's potential failures 🔬✨ If you're curious and want to delve deeper into this topic, check out our 📄 White Paper on medical devices! Gain valuable insights and discover how surface characteristics impact medical device performance.

The technology behind medical devices is fascinating. Much research and development has been done in products from diagnostic equipment to surgical instruments and implantable devices to engineer solutions to medical problems. However, devices may experience technical issues on rare occasions. Do you know how to handle it if it happens to one of your clients? This is one example of the importance of strong customer service. When a machine is down, there is no time to waste, and responses must be timely and relevant.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞! 🔬 In the realm of medical applications, precision holds paramount importance. The wavelength of 1940nm epitomizes this precision. Hence, our simLa® 6 laser system can be operated with starting power as low as 0.5W, incrementally increasing up to 6.0W. Utilizing a precise tool to its fullest extent is only logical. Here's why the simLa® 6 with its 1940 nm wavelength stands out in the medical domain: 🔹 𝐕𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧: The low energy of max. 6W and thus low penetration depth of 1940nm render the simLa® 6 adept at addressing superficial veins. 🔹 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬: Capitalizing on its unparalleled precision, the simLa® 6 empowers practitioners to undertake EVLA even in small veins without harming the surrounding tissue. 🔹 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐩𝐮𝐭: The incremental adjustments in power, set at intervals of 0.5W, enable tailored energy delivery to specific procedural demands. Our simLa® 6 demonstrates the criticality of precision and adaptability in medical laser applications. Its concept offers treatment approaches with excellent results, for patients and users. 🎯✨ #MedicalPrecision #LaserInnovation #simLa® 6 #MedicalTechnology #PatientCare #InnovativeTreatment

🔬 Schrödinger’s Cat & Medical Device Uncertainty: A Parallel Thought Experiment 🐾 In the world of medical devices, uncertainty in measurement can be as life-altering as Schrödinger’s famous thought experiment. Imagine a medical device—like a heart rate monitor or a glucose meter—where the accuracy of measurements is uncertain. Just like the cat’s life in Schrödinger's box depends on a quantum event, patient outcomes can depend on these small margins of error. #SZUTEST #MedicalDevices #MDR #EU7452017 #MeasurementUncertainty #SchrodingersCat #ClinicalDecisionMaking #DesignValidation #MedicalSafety
