It Was 20 Years Ago
Today...
Do you remember what you were doing 20 years ago? Maybe you
were teasing your hair into a Mohawk while watching the LiveAid
concert. Quite possibly you were banging on a friend's head yelling
"Anybody in there, McFly?" after seeing Back to the Future.
Or maybe you were riding in your dad's Pacer, singing along with
Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing."
If you were working in
the medical device industry in 1985, maybe you were excited to see
the preview issue of Medical Product Manufacturing News come
across your desk. Was your eye drawn to the cover product on custom
extrusion of radiopaque and natural plastic tubing? Or perhaps the
two new series of microminiature connectors got your attention. Then
there was the robot system featuring a spherical five-axis
manipulator arm with telescoping joint features.
Regardless
of where you were or what you were doing in 1985, MPMN is
still the industry leader in disseminating medical product news in a
tabloid format. Engineers, designers, and R&D professionals look
to MPMN for the latest news and trends in medical device
manufacturing. After 20 years, we still strive to meet the
industry's demands.
As we reach our 20th anniversary of
serving medical device OEMs and suppliers, MPMN is branching
out yet again with an e-newsletter. Designed to complement our print
edition, the MPMN e-newsletter will give readers a snapshot
of recently released products, late-breaking news, and upcoming
issues.
Many trends from 1985 are now a thing of the past -
we're particularly pleased that shoulder pads are now considered a
fashion faux pas - but MPMN's trend of informing and
educating the medical device community, whether via print or e-mail,
will never go out of style. As you read through our inaugural issue
of MPMN's e-newsletter, we hope you'll agree.
