Regulatory compliance in MedTech is not getting harder because the regulations are new. It is getting harder because most organisations are still managing it the same way they were ten years ago. Columbus has mapped the four stages of digital compliance maturity, identified where most MedTech compan
IEC 60601 compliance is more complex than most device teams plan for. Bob Burek of Element — 30 years in medical device testing — has written the practical guide we wish existed earlier. Free download.

Whether it’s the smooth articulation of a surgical robot, the precise positioning of an imaging system, or the reliable, repeatable movement inside a laboratory instrument, motion control plays a key role in modern medical devices. Despite this, however, it is often one of the most complex aspects o
Design strategies for optimal dispensing, curing, and bonding for next-generation skin-friendly adhesives in wearable devices. Medical wearables have evolved far beyond fitness trackers, combining continuous sensing, data transmission, and medication delivery within compact, flexible, skin-contact s
