Shawn Murphy writes, "The Limb Loss and Preservation Registry (LLPR) represents a pivotal development in patient care. It stands as the first collaborative database that unites hospital and health systems, provider organizations such as Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) and orthotic/prosthetic (O&P) practices, focusing on both upper and lower extremity acquired and congenital limb differences, as well as limb preservation populations. This collective effort has the potential to drive substantial advancements in patient outcomes, treatment effectiveness and care quality." Read to learn more.
Andrew Cleeland writes, "Introducing a new medical therapy or technology is a complex, expensive, and time-consuming journey, one that is fraught with significant risk. While innovation often starts with a clear, well-defined unmet clinical need, it must be paired with an equally compelling value proposition. My mentor, Dr. Thomas Fogarty, once said, “An idea, by itself, has no importance whatsoever; it is the implementation of that idea and its acceptance by others that brings benefit to our patients.” Read on.
Paxman writes, "When Real Housewives of Miami star Guerdy Abraira recently proclaimed “Chemo Starts Now” after shaving off her hair before starting her treatment for breast cancer in People Magazine1, this made me realize just how little the general public and even celebrities like Abraria know about the medical technology being utilized today, such as scalp cooling systems, to manage and prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss."

Brian Pedlar, CEO of Covalon Technologies writes, A simple dressing application holds the power to both heal and harm. However, beneath their seemingly straightforward design exists a realm of concerns. When the wrong dressing is used it can cause significant harm affecting everyone from the tiniest of babies in the NICU to vulnerable adults, clinicians, caregivers, and even hospital administration."

Harvey writes, "When we looked at cybersecurity and medical devices last fall, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did not have express federal statutory requirements for medical device manufacturers regarding cybersecurity. However, it is clear that there are real dangers. In September 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reported that as of January 2022, 53% of connected medical devices and other Internet of things (IoT) devices in hospitals had known critical vulnerabilities."

Christopher Cauble writes, "There are many risks and a few rewards to an intellectual property strategy that foregoes patent protection in non-U.S. jurisdictions. Startups or midsize medical device companies should include intellectual property specialists in strategy sessions for market development." Read to learn more.
Luka Yancopoulos writes: "There’s a lingering issue in the healthcare sector that doesn’t get the attention it deserves, and it’s not directly related to patient care or medication breakthroughs. Instead, it revolves around the supply chain – the backbone of the healthcare industry that ensures critical medical supplies get from manufacturers to end-users." Read on to learn more.

One of healthcare’s scarier little secrets is how extremely tricky it can be to accurately place screws into spinal pedicles during surgery. In fact, a few years ago five experienced surgeons were reportedly asked to manually insert hardware used to strengthen fused vertebrae into cadavers. When researchers reviewed a follow-up CT scan, they found placement error rates as high as 41%. Even worse, 21 of the screws surgeons implanted penetrated the medial wall of the pedicles and entered the vertebral canals.
