We’re proud to shine a spotlight on Samantha Wagner, our Director of Business Development, in a recent feature by Medical Design & Outsourcing. Sam brings to Aptyx a unique blend of engineering, clinical research, and business development experience. In the article, she discusses her role in navigating the intersection of technology, medical device innovation, and collaboration across stakeholders. She also emphasizes how important a collaborative, cross-functional view is to both an individual’s and the industry’s success. It's hard to pick a favorite quote but one that brings this sentiment to life is, “You have to be there. I deeply believe that engineers need to spend time in clinical settings – watching procedures, asking questions, solving problems side by side.“ 🔗 Read the full feature here: https://hubs.li/Q03P2SMx0 #WomenInMedTech #Leadership #Innovation #PatientFocus #MakingItHappen

A great implant is only half the equation. Without the right delivery system, its promise can fall short. Innovation in medical devices is accelerating - but here’s a reality check: designing an implant in isolation introduces risk. In our latest blog, Chris Steadham, VP of Technology at Aptyx, shares why delivery systems should be developed in parallel with the implant, not as an afterthought. You’ll learn: • Why retrofitting a delivery system can throttle performance • How AI, robotics, and imaging are reshaping integration • The importance of early usability and simulation • Why startups should invest in delivery systems early Read more 👉 The Implant Alone Isn’t Enough 🔗 https://hubs.li/Q03NWSTn0 #MedTech #Innovation #SystemsEngineering #R&D #MakingItHappen

#Medtech moves forward when more voices lead the way. We are proud to amplify this spotlight on women driving innovation across our industry. #WomenInMedTech #DeviceTalksWest #MedTechLeadership #MakingItHappen DeviceTalks Kayleen Brown
Managing Editor, DeviceTalks • Podcast Host • Journalist • Speaker & Moderator #MedTech #HealthTech #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #podcasts #MedicalDevices #WomeninMedTech
Why did Darla Hutton, VP of Global Cardiac Surgery at Intuitive and I choose "The Power of Global Representation" as our theme for the #DeviceTalksWest Women in MedTech Breakfast? Because when we talk about advancing #MedTech, we can't separate innovation from the people who drive it - and the perspectives that shape it. So we NEED diversity of perspective to ensure that we are innovating for all populations, globally. If you haven't already, make sure to register for DeviceTalks West, Innovation & Industry Forums, Oct. 15-16th. And join us at 8am for the #WomeninMedTech Breakfast on Oct. 16th. Thank you for your continued support, Aptyx, and thank you to our DeviceTalkers for making it known that these conversations are critical.

In a recent Future of Medtech Opportunities conversation, Chris Steadham, VP of Technology at Aptyx, shared with Tom Salemi why a systems approach is critical for advancing transcatheter therapies. Too often, delivery systems are treated as an afterthought, but the implant and catheter must be designed in harmony to ensure safety, reliability, and performance in the body. 🎙️ Hear Chris’s perspective on how this approach helps avoid pitfalls and unlocks next-gen device performance.

“It doesn’t matter how good the implant is if it can’t be delivered.” In a recent conversation with DeviceTalks Editorial Director Tom Salemi, Chris Steadham, VP of Technology at Aptyx, explains why a systems approach matters: implants and delivery systems must be designed together, not in silos. At Aptyx, we do both — implants + catheters under one roof — so medtech teams can move faster and avoid costly pitfalls.
