Medical silicone adhesives have been designed to excel at that balancing act of achieving adequate adhesion levels to a wide range of skin types during device attachment, yet causing low mechanical trauma during removal.
Has “Open Season” on Infringement of Medical Device Patents Begun?
A recent decision by the Federal Circuit Court (the court of appeals that hears all patent appeals) may have just rung the bell commencing an "open season" on the infringement of medical device patents. 
Asian Tigers: Vietnam Device Industry Overview
The Vietnamese medical device market is estimated at US$400 million and is expected to grow at about 12 percent annually. Experts believe that the Vietnamese market will double over the next seven years, as the country further develops.
Medical Device Vendors Need a New Mix of Field Resources
To grow in the new environment, device companies must deploy a new mix of sales resources, recognize the changing role of doctors, and shift focus from doctor to account, thus helping their hospital accounts manage through their own organizational upheavals and ongoing cost pressures.
Does Device Manufacturing Need Cleanrooms?

Why Outsource to Asia?
Many medical device companies are sourcing or manufacturing their products in Asia now and this trend will continue to grow in the future. While there are many benefits to sourcing in Asia, it is also important to remember potential problems that may arise. Picking the right Asian location and partner is the key to your success.
Emerging Markets: Maximize Opportunity, Minimize Risk

The QA/ RA Cheat Sheet
It is surprising how little many people in the medical device industry know about freely-, widely-available resources. Often, many do not know how easy it is to find the regulations and the preambles, or about the existence of Food and Drug Administration mailing lists, phone directories and databases. MedicalDeviceSummit presents a basic list of non-commercial regulatory reference links, most from FDA itself. Undoubtedly, we have missed some. Send us your suggestions to make this a ‘living, growing’ list.
