Advances in Precision Machining and Moulding Technology Bring Design Opportunities
Machining of materials for medical applications has moved to a new level of precision. In parallel with this, moulding technology has improved through the increased use of sensors in moulds, enhanced design simulation and processes such as micromoulding. This article examines the opportunities offered by these developments and includes examples of mass produced parts that demonstrate the new capabilities useful to product designers.

  New Diagnostics With Wireless Pressure Monitoring
Hypertonia and heart failures have become two of the main diseases affecting today’s human population. A telemetric controlled sensor implant without a battery is being developed and evaluated with in vivo experiments for use as a powerful tool in long term post surgical evaluation of heart pressure, body temperature and pulse rate. Its capabilities are reported here.
