As we see people taking control of their health and wellbeing and the healthcare industry embracing the use of technology, the use of wearables and home testing is growing incredibly fast. Plastics are ideal for such devices as they make designing for ease of use whilst keeping patients’ safety in mind attainable.
Medical device regulations have been tying up regulatory, development and quality teams for several years now. However, as the final submission date for technical files draws close, attention can be moved to new products and next generation devices, even with the extension to current certificate validation times.
NHS England has helped spark the need to bring sustainability into healthcare here in the UK. With the industry contributing a similar level of emissions to the largest industrial countries, the time to look for drop in solutions for current devices and bring sustainability into new product design is here.
