The Auto-I 360, made by Interface Catheter Solutions, is inspecting a medical balloon for imperfections. This medical balloon can be used to treat peripheral vascular disease. |
Developers of a medical balloon inspection system, an innovative friction test for single-use medical devices, and a tiny magnetic reed sensor were among finalists vying Wednesday to become the 2015 Supplier Innovation Challenge winner at MD&M West in Anaheim, CA.
The identity of the winner was published late Wednesday on Qmed/MPMN's sister media outlet MD+DI. Click here to find out.
After a review of the submissions conducted by UBM Canon's editorial team, 10 finalists were chosen last week among MD&M West exhibitors, with readers then given the opportunity to pick the winner.
Finalists of special note in the voting include:
Interface Catheter Solutions (Laguna Niguel, CA) is the creator of the Auto - I 360, an automated inspection system of medical balloons to detect visual defects and perform dimensional inspection. It is an activity presently performed by human inspectors.
RTP Co. (Winona, MN) has an innovative friction test for single-use medical devices. It helps original equipment manufacturers determine what a material's coefficient of friction is.
Coto Technology ( North Kingston, RI) has created a magnetic reed sensor so tiny that it is a mere 1.35 mm by 0.84 mm. It can be used in a wide variety of medical devices such as insulin pumps, capsule endoscopes and hearing aids among others.
