New MedicalDeviceNow.com Offers a Leading Source of Information and Intelligence for Medtech Manufacturers

RAMSEY, N.J., Nov. 30, 2010—Medical device manufacturing professionals now have a new online tool for business intelligence and product development resources from a trusted provider of industry news. MedicalDeviceNow.com is the latest product from the publishers of Medical Product Outsourcing and Orthopedic Design & Technology magazines.

The website, which is the second generation of the original MDeviceNow, offers expanded capabilities and resources specifically created for medical technology designers, product developers, engineers and related job functions. Much more than an online product tabloid, the redesigned site provides users with an extensive and easily searchable database of expanding content such as technical features, business process articles, market data and expert opinion written by MedicalDeviceNow staff and industry experts.

“We’ve organized an easy-to-use site with important news, information and tools for busy medical device manufacturing professionals,” said Christopher Delporte, group editor for MedicalDeviceNow. “Going forward, with expanded content and capabilities, I know this site quickly will become a unique source for anyone involved in the medtech product development and manufacturing value chain.”

MedicalDeviceNow is designed to provide quick and direct access to all available resources, which includes breaking news; industry news; product spotlights; technology news; manufacturers’ corner; international news, people news; regulatory, legislative and legal updates; product and service releases; white papers; and much more.

A “Knowledge Center” ties all MedicalDeviceNow’s content together and helps visitors access the website’s vast article archive. The Knowledge Center contains a growing base of information designed to offer the most relevant news and articles associated with specific categories. The Knowledge Center is divided into two sub-categories—Technical Processes and Business Approaches—which are segmented further into more than 15 unique sections, such as Assembly & Automation, Coatings & Surface Modification, Contract Manufacturing, Design, Electronic Components, Lean & Six Sigma, Materials, Molding, Prototyping, Software, and more.

In addition to many other online tools, the updated, easy-to-use and fully searchable Buyer’s Guide of more than 500 companies in 20 categories represents the most comprehensive listing of suppliers, contract service providers and consultants in the medical device manufacturing industry. Companies can easily register their capabilities with the MedicalDeviceNow Buyer’s Guide for free. Company profiles include a listing in 10 categories, a link to basic product and service releases (up to 50 words, with one photo per release). Annual expanded listings and advertising opportunities, such as additional Buyer’s Guide sponsorship and video, are available for purchase.

“We’ve listened to the feedback from our users in creating MedicalDeviceNow,” said Patrick Browne, online sales and marketing manager. “This new site continues our commitment to the medical device manufacturing industry, but significantly expands the capabilities we offer our users. This is a more robust tool for a tech-savvy audience. Our priority is not only to provide an information center for companies, but to help them do business better. In addition, we’re creating a strong advertising vehicle with many different methods for firms to reach medtech manufacturing professionals.”
