 | | |  Stronger Catheter Layer Bond with Zeus Tie Layer
Zeus’ new Tie Layer increases catheter jacket-to-liner bond strength by at least 2½× and helps minimize risk of delamination. This interface layer improves adhesion between the catheter base liner and jacket creating consistent performance characteristics while supporting improved patient safety.

| | | | |  Not only does melanin color our skin, hair, and protect us from sun damage, it could also be used to build electronic, bionic implants, according to a recent study published in Frontiers in Chemistry. Paolo Tassini and colleagues at the Laboratory for Nanomaterials and Devices in Italy have produced a study that reports an “abrupt increase” in the electrical conductivity of eumelanin, one of the three basic types of melanin. | | | | |  A new implant that boosts the signals sent from the brain to the limbs has been found to significantly improve mobility in people living with Parkinson’s disease. The study was published in the Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences last month. | | | | |  Scientists have overcome a major obstacle in the development of 3D printed tissue that can be used to replaced damaged or diseased organs. Using breakthrough techniques, the scientist’s 3D printed a structure resembling an alveolar air sac – the structures that carry out gas exchange in the lungs. | | | | |  In the medical industry, counterfeit products are defined as those which are fake, or those which have been deliberately mislabeled or tampered with. This is not the same as sub-standard devices, which have failed quality control checks. | | | | |  Researchers have developed an implant that has shown promise for reducing addiction rates. However, there are major ethical and financial concerns, which we have tried to cover in this news story. | | | | |  Researchers at Google have developed an algorithm that can successfully diagnose lung cancer in 94.4 percent of cases. | |
