Nick and Nigel breaks down what actually goes into the cost of getting a sterilized device into a user's hands, and why up to 30% of costs can sit in places most teams don't plan for.
-
Nigel Syrotuck examines the hidden medical device sterilization costs that many development teams overlook when estimating the true cost of producing a terminally sterilized device.
-
Nick and Nigel walk through how sterile disposables are processed and verified before they reach the field.
-
With the release of ISO 14644-5:2025, Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments, Part 5: Operations, the standard places increased emphasis on operational discipline, human factors, and contamination control behaviour.
-
Ariana Wilson sits down with Mark Drlik to unpack why reprocessing is often one of the hardest challenges engineers face during development.
-
Nick and Nigel walk through how teams decide between ethylene oxide, E-beam, and gamma radiation sterilization.
-
In MedTech, success rarely comes from invention alone. Plenty of promising technologies make it through verification and early clinical work, only to stall when the team tries to turn them into something buildable.
-
Nick walks through a practical Teflon tape lesson that came from real work supporting a mechanical test rig.
-
Most sterile medical devices begin their journey long before anyone thinks about sterilization. Teams focus on function, usability, materials, and suppliers, then discover that sterilization constraints can reshape many of those early decisions.
