One of the best ways to guarantee success is the rapid and mass adoption of a company’s newest device—and the best way to guarantee that is for the device to be easy to operate…

Infections related to medical devices remain a persistent and costly challenge in modern healthcare. Despite the advancement of antimicrobial materials and design innovations, biofilm formation continues to undermine the efficacy of many devices – contributing to patient complications, prolonged hospital stays, and increased clinician workload. Biofilm formation on medical devices remains a major barrier to infection prevention.…

In regenerative medicine, small biological messengers are making a big impact. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and a subset of EVs, exosomes, are transforming how scientists think about tissue repair, wound healing, and even skin rejuvenation. These nanoscale carriers of bioactive molecules – proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids – are enabling new cell-free therapies by orchestrating tissue…

From toothbrushes to tongue scrapers, oral care products tackle one of the most microbiologically active environments in the human body, with conditions where diverse microbial species thrive. This makes antimicrobial effectiveness testing essential, and proves to be a unique challenge for product developers: proving their antimicrobial claims while satisfying strict regulatory standards. USP and ISO…
