Medical devices are becoming smaller, smarter and more connected as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) add sensing capabilities to products used in minimally invasive treatment and remote patient monitoring.
These trends are increasing demand for components capable of collecting reliable data without enlarging a device or compromising its mechanical performance. In guidewire-based procedures, integrated sensors can measure blood flow, pressure or temperature at the treatment site, helping clinicians navigate and make decisions in real time.
In episode eight of the Advancing the Future of MedTech with Alleima podcast series, Cacie McDorman, global product manager for wire technologies at Alleima, discusses the forces driving sensor integration and the engineering demands facing manufacturers.
