Medical devices are shrinking rapidly while becoming more complex. Sensors, processors, optics, and connectivity are now routinely packed into form factors that would have been impractical just a decade ago. While this miniaturization unlocks new clinical value, it also exposes a persistent design challenge: many of the materials still being specified were developed for an earlier era of electronics. In an article for Medical Design Briefs, COO Dave Fromm explores the benefits and drawbacks of low-CTE alternatives and how designers can select the best materials for their medical devices.
