The Future Is Now: Synchronized Development of Implants and Delivery Systems
In this insightful episode of the Future of MedTech Opportunities series from DeviceTalks, Chris Steadham, Vice President of Technology at Aptyx, shares his personal journey and expertise in interventional technology. He emphasizes the critical role of delivery systems in MedTech.
For startups navigating tight budgets and timelines, Chris advises prioritizing delivery system design alongside evolving implants. He highlights the importance of starting with clinical requirements and user needs to ensure successful outcomes.
As interventional tech advances, delivery systems must evolve to keep pace with smaller, more intricate devices. Chris notes, “It really doesn’t matter how great an implant is if the delivery system can’t deploy it accurately.” This underscores the necessity of developing implants and delivery systems in tandem for optimal performance.
