The Importance of Micro-Molding in Advancing Medical Device Manufacturing The medical industry relies on microfabrication to create highly detailed and tiny parts such as implants, connectors and diagnostic components that cannot be achieved with traditional manufacturing methods. Micro-molding allows for high precision, consistency, and repeatability, which are crucial for patient safety and device reliability. In addition, it enables the production of complex geometries with tight tolerances, reducing assembly steps and overall device size. This technology supports the development of minimally invasive surgical tools, portable diagnostic devices, and personalized medical solutions that ultimately improve patient outcomes and advance healthcare innovation. #MicroMolding #deicaldevices #manufacturing

Sustaining Engineering: Protecting the Lifespan of Medical Devices When people think about medical devices, the focus is often on breakthrough innovation and what’s coming next. But behind the scenes, some of the most critical work happens long after a product launches. That’s where sustaining engineering comes in. Medical devices often remain in use for decades, and sustaining engineering ensures they continue to perform safely, stay compliant with evolving regulations, and adapt to real-world user needs. It covers critical efforts such as: -Managing component obsolescence -Improving features and fixing bugs -Maintaining regulatory compliance The challenge? These responsibilities can pull top engineers away from the innovative projects of tomorrow. That’s why many medtech leaders turn to ALTEN Technology—to manage sustaining engineering while their teams focus on creating the next breakthrough. In today’s healthcare landscape, sustaining engineering isn’t just maintenance—it’s a strategic advantage.
