Chronic conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory illness and long-term mobility issues, all require extended periods of supervision.

Wearable devices enable continuous patient monitoring and data generation outside the hospital.

Material selection and converting quality sit close to overall product performance. BDK supports this through expertise in adhesive materials and wearable device manufacturing:

Chronic conditions require extended periods of monitoring. What benefits do wearables offer for managing chronic conditions?

Adhesive strength is a key parameter in the performance of medical adhesives, which are used to secure devices and dressings to the skin.

Measuring adhesive strength is essential to ensure the correct balance between secure fixation and safe removal.

Read our latest article to find out more about different adhesive strength test methods and what it means for different applications:

Adhesive strength refers to the strength of the bond between adhesive coating and the substrate. How is adhesive strength measured?

Hospitals have been the cornerstone of healthcare delivery for decades; however modern medical technology is challenging the paradigm of hospital-centric care.

As traditional healthcare systems contend with capacity constraints, rising costs and workforce shortages, questions have been raised whether hospitals remain as the primary point of care.

Wearable technologies and remote monitoring are redefining care delivery, creating the potential for a hybrid healthcare model instead.

Medical devices are becoming more sophisticated, with embedded electronics, multi-material assemblies and miniaturisation. Not only this, but manufacturers are experiencing the rising pressure of both UK and global regulatory framework, and the drive to reduce environmental impact.

Therefore, the challenge of sterilising medical devices safely and consistently grows alongside this. Although BDK is not a sterilisation house, we develop medical device and dressing products where design choices must take sterilisation compatibility into account.

Read our latest article about the new innovations in medical device sterilisation technology:

Medical devices are becoming more sophisticated. Here are some new innovations in medical device sterilisation technology to be aware of.

Point of Care (POC) testing continues to redefine how healthcare is delivered enabling faster diagnostics, decentralised testing, and improved patient outcomes.

Once limited to basic strip-based assays, POC technologies have evolved into highly integrated diagnostic systems capable of performing complex analysis at the patient’s bedside, in clinics, and even at home.

Let's take a look at the future of point of care testing:

Sterilisation helps ensure patient safety and eliminates harmful microorganisms. Without effective sterilisation, even the most advanced medical devices can pose a big infection risk. Achieving sterility, however, is not without its challenges.

The process, whether it is thermal, radiative, or chemical, can impact the properties of the material, and it can sometimes even damage the device and its performance. Read on to find out more.

Sterilisation ensures patient safety and eliminates harmful microorganisms. But does sterilisation affect the performance of medical devices?
