Revolutionising medical device design: the role of
advanced thermal solutions Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are increasingly seeking out sophisticated thermal solutions to improve the performance of medical devices. With over 2 million different medical devices across the global market, according to WHO, the design of these critical devices must be perfect. In this article, Andy Selvy, chief systems designer at industrial heating technology manufacturer Watlow, delves into the transition from traditional heaters to advanced, layered heater technologies in medical device design.
The critical role of thermal management in medical devices
Thermal management within medical devices, clinical diagnostics instruments and analytical instruments involves the sophisticated control of temperatures to prevent overheating and ensure devices operate within their optimal performance range. Proper thermal regulation is vital because even the slightest of deviations can lead to device failure, diminished treatment effectiveness, or serious risks to user safety.

Welcome to the February issue of Electronics for Engineers n Tuesday 4th
February, I had the
pleasure of attending the Southern Manufacturing and Electronics Show for the second time since I became the editor of Electronics for Engineers. As was the case last year, the exhibition, located in the Farnborough International Airshow, was buzzing with a collective excitement for new innovations and demonstrations. It was wonderful to meet some new potential readers and I look forward to bringing new companies’ insights to our magazine. In this, our February issue, we are exploring a number of interesting
