Magneto Rheometer
Engineers are increasingly turning to so-called smart fluids to solve complex mechanical problems. One specific type of smart fluid is the magnetorheological fluid (MR fluid) which greatly increases its viscosity to the point of becoming a viscoelastic solid when subjected to a magnetic field. Importantly, the yield stress and viscosity of the fluid when in […]

Hydrogel Tissue Models
Hydrogel Uterus ModelCambridge Polymer Group designs and fabricates hydrogel-based tissue models. These models can be used for medical practioner training, imaging phantoms, and medical device testing. Using our patented hydrogel technology, we can cast hydrogels into a variety of shapes, including systems with inclusions, additives, and spatial gradients. Our models have found extensive use in […]
FDA Revisions to the 510(K) Process
The FDA has just issued a new draft document detailing if medical device manufacturers who have a product previously cleared by the 510(k) process, and have made changes to that product, have to refile another 510(k) for that product. The two main questions that a device manufacturer must ask about their revised device are as […]
