Because the human population is growing inexorably and we are getting older and older. In the last 60 years or so, the worldwide Life expectancy increased by around 20 years. This development is due not least to modern medical technology. Medical technology devices, imaging diagnostics and all the components built into medical technology must meet high requirements so that they can meet the necessary, often global, permits and safety regulations.

Brand new medical technology

Below we present innovations for medical technology such as Drives, Sensors, Dosing, Materials, robots and robot drool or medical devices and assemblies as well as numerous application examples for your brainstorming and new development.

abb11019ABB has on the campus of the Texas Medical Center (TMC) in Houston, Texas, their first global Health Care Hub opened, which especially the Health research dedicates. At the opening, a number of technology concepts were presented, including a mobile "Yumi" -Robot, which is designed to support medical and laboratory professionals with laboratory work and logistical tasks in the hospital.

The world's first female scientist is revolutionizing biotechnology today. her name is Agamed and has declared war on Covid-19. The one of the same name Robot was developed at the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (ICHB PAN) with the participation of technology partners Mitsubishi Electric, Perlan Technologies and Labomatica for applications in the laboratory automation

Artificial heart of Berlin HeartAn human heart works in 24/7 operation and must not fail. Therefore, the Berlin Heart the highest quality requirements for your Cardiac support systems. In the mobile versions of the "Excor" series, the external Artificial heart from a miniatureBall Screws from NSK driven. Stroke volume and cycle frequency in Excor exactly reproduce the way the patient's human heart works.

The manufacture of artificial heart valves has made significant advances in recent years and a variety of methods and materials are available for their manufacture. Fergal Coulter has in one Research Project a bio-inspired one artificial heart valve im 3D pressure Process manufactured. This article describes how a dispenser of the series is used for a computed tomography measurement in additive manufacturing Eco PEN from the Viscotec daughter Preeflow is used.

JenoptikAlmost a year after the introduction of the compact medical laser "Jenlas D2.mini 2/3 W "in series production, Jenoptik has now presented an enhanced version of the diode-pumped green disk laser. With an output power of up to 8 W, it is a further development at the" Jenlas D2.mini "technology, the small volume, compact size, optimized beam quality and higher output power make the laser even more interesting for medical, show and entertainment applications.

Cochlear implants are revolutionary Hearing aidsthat can restore hearing for people with severe hearing loss, including deafness. They convert sound into electrical impulses, which the brain interprets as sound. This article provides an in-depth look at the impressive technology behind the cochlear implant and how it works, such as through the 3D microprint or thread forming screws.

IEF01141With the "Variostack", IEF-Werner has developed an open and modular palletizing system that can be tailored to any task. The user can operate the palletizer with integrated product handling or connect it to an existing robot or handling system. In addition, the extremely compact palletizer can be loaded as standard with pallet trolleys or conveyor belts - with the belt loader version even from the side. This palletizing system is already in use at a manufacturer of medical technology products, for example.

rauscher0315The "Pulse" cameras from Basler (Rauscher sales) with resolutions from 1,2 to 5 megapixels are equipped with the latest CMOS sensor technology and offer global shutter and rolling shutter options.

Igus0415Lubricant-free, media-resistant, non-magnetic, corrosion-free - these are decisive criteria for components in medical technology. Especially for the industry Igus developed the new plain bearing material "Iglidur AB". Antibacterial plain bearings made of this material help to reduce the germ load and are also lubrication and maintenance-free.

PI10414Mobile drug pumps have become indispensable in outpatient therapy for many diseases, such as pain therapy, oncology, parenteral nutrition or metabolic diseases. They give the patient mobility and thus a better quality of life. At the same time, the therapy costs are reduced, as the patients do not have to be cared for in the clinic as an inpatient or outpatient. There is, however, room for improvement in the mobile drug pumps commonly used today. Piezo ultrasonic motors from PI (Physik Instrumente) as pump drives can open up interesting perspectives here.

ACEDermatologists often prescribe cortisone for neurodermatitis therapy. Although the hormone brings relief to patients, it also has known side effects such as an increase in blood pressure or water retention in the tissue. Cold light beds are therefore sensible and efficient alternatives, especially since these are not limited to the treatment of neurodermatitis in their applications. Schulze & Böhm GmbH uses small shock absorbers from ACE to protect their latest UVA-1 bed, type "Medisun Xenia UVA-1", from damage.
