Exploring Miniaturization in Bioelectronic Medical Devices

Exploring Miniaturization in Bioelectronic Medical Devices Introduction  In 1958 an external pacemaker was introduced, 65 years later the leadless pacemakers are on the market. Over that period the volume of the pacemaker was reduced by 99.8%, the weight was reduced by 99.3%, all while adding additional functionality such as rate responsive pacing, wireless programmability, increased […]

Ingress Protection for Medical Devices: What to Consider

Summary Nextern has developed the knowledge and resources to design devices to a standard known as Ingress Protection (IP), which ensures protection from environmental elements. We can determine the level of ingress protection based on the device’s use case, develop design elements that will protect a device from certain levels of ingress, and test design […]
