Medical Device Innovator Spreads Winds In Country

Masimo, the inventor of breakthrough noninvasive patient monitoring technologies, recently announced the opening of offices across India to meet the health demands.

"We have found that India is an important market for several reasons - the most important is that the penetration of high technology devices is very low, a factor that could lead to thousands of avoidable instances of death and illness. As a leader in noninvasive patient monitoring, including measure through motion and low perfusion pulse oximetry, Masimo's technologies will be able to make a significant impact to improve patient safety and outcomes," said Jon Coleman, president, Masimo Worldwide Sales, Professional Services and Medical Affairs.

Masimo is a publicly traded medical technology company. It is working with India's medical and nursing practitioners to raise greater awareness of the clinical and cost challenges that innovative technologies can solve, including, pulse oximetry. Compared to other pulse oximeters during patient motion and low perfusion, Masimo SET provides measurements which they claim other pulse oximeters cannot. It dramatically reduces false alarms, and accurately detects true alarms that can indicate a deteriorating patient.

Medical Device Plastic Material Innovations To Watch

The medical device universe encompasses a particularly imposing spectrum of constant technological innovation, including hundreds of different technologies and thousands of types of products. This affords high-performance specialty plastics material suppliers unique opportunities in medical device market development.

High-purity medical plastics, and more specifically high-purity medical thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs), are a good example. There's a growing focus on extractables in healthcare supplies and equipment as concerns grow about endocrine disruption and other health issues.

Medalist MD-200 series TPVs from the Teknor Apex Company have high purity and resilience suitable for replacing rubber in medical applications. The materials are certified to pass the ISO 109993-5 materials standard and have none of the extractable heavy metals commonly used in curing thermoset rubber. They are also Drug Master File listed with the U.S. FDA.

These TPV medical elastomers span 15 to 80 Shore A hardness. They also meet the requirements of ISO 7886 for single-use hypodermic syringe stoppers and exhibit a low coefficient of friction (COF) for consistent travel force in glass and PP barrels.
