View From The Med: Our Weekly Review Of Medical Device Happenings Is Online Now

The need for a more solid evidence-basis is an increasing one in medtech, and rightly so, companies and their reps having got away with unsubstantiated claims for too long. So are things changing or is it just the regulators who are raising the bar?

Each week we write a review of some sorts.  Sometimes it even includes things that have happened during the week. Other times it doesn’t as our editor tends to “go off on one” about a particular fundament of the medical device business. This week, in reviewing the many stories we cover, we wondered whether a flurry of newly announced clinical studies was signalling a marked move towards a more solid evidence basis for claims about devices. Having trawled through six such studies we decided it was a bit early to start claiming credit for spotting a game-change. Nonetheless, some interesting and progressive studies have been reported this week and our review deals with them all in a neat, bite-sized review.

It’s available right here.
