Show Notes
In this episode, Host Tom Salemi sits down with Eliane Schutte, CEO of Xeltis, to discuss a remarkable biomaterial designed to help the body grow its own living blood vessels. Schutte explains how the technology is being used for dialysis patients today and how it could eventually transform coronary bypass surgery, peripheral vascular care and even heart valve replacement.
In the FOMO studio, Tom speaks with Katie Grant, VP of MR at Siemens Healthineers North America, about the global helium supply and why the MRI industry is working to reduce its reliance on the increasingly precious gas. They explore how new magnet designs could make MRI systems lighter, more accessible and easier to install in new locations.
As always, we’ll open the podcast with the top stories from MassDevice in Newmarker’s Newsmakers, delivered by MassDevice Editor Chris Newmarker. This week, Chris covers Medtronic’s major investment in surgical robotics, Enovis’ acquisition of eCential Robotics, Stryker’s move to strengthen its shoulder portfolio, the rebranding of Johnson & Johnson MedTech, and job shifts at Zoll Medical.
