Case Study: BioMedical Devices

Medical treatment costs have skyrocketed and the increasing median age ensures nonstop growth in the Biomedical Device industry.

Presently emerging at the intersection of the IoT and high tech medicine are devices to perform electronically controlled functions that supplement or correct bodily functions. Sensing, treating and correcting bodily functions holds the promise of proactively detecting or remedying medical conditions. Sensors in these devices will share data with other IoT devices, creating an important segment in the Internet of Things.

The medical environment creates a unique set of requirements for biomedical device products such as their need to be sterile as formed or after processing. The Futrfab infrastructure allows for sterile processing environments and is ideal for the convergence of biomedical devices with electronics.

Biomedical device markets are defined by applications that frequently contain sophisticated electronics, sensors, and a fundamental requirement of sterility. Futrfab offers a unique ability to manufacture these devices in ways that combine the technical complexity with the demanding requirements of cleanliness.
