The treatment of coronary heart disease has advanced rapidly over recent decades. For example, in patients deemed unsuitable for cardiac surgery, the introduction of percutaneous procedures significantly reduced mortality rates. Further advances in minimally invasive approaches have improved patient outcomes even further. This includes high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), where interventional cardiologists treat extreme cases. Mechanical circulatory support is a crucial component of many high-risk PCI procedures to maintain blood flow. This is an evolving area of cardiac treatments. The success of these treatments is often dependent on vascular access and closure. However, in many situations, vascular access and closure...

Sligo is the base of our operations here at Arrotek. We moved into a new purpose-built facility in 2019 following a significant investment, and we are part of a strong and growing medical device industry in Ireland’s northwest. Why Sligo, though? What is Sligo like, and what does it have to offer? These are questions we are regularly asked by clients from Europe and elsewhere in the world. Ideally, we’d like to bring you here so you can see first-hand what is on offer not just in Arrotek’s state-of-the-art facility, but in the region more generally. As a taster, however,...
Last month, the Government published its Code of Practice on the Right to Disconnect. At Arrotek, this code of practice is something we fully support.

Today, all employees are encouraged to finish work on time and to switch off and disconnect from work at weekends and when on annual leave. Tracey Kelly, HR Manager at Arrotek, said: “We follow the ethos here at Arrotek that when you are off, you are off! This approach is...
Sligo medical device companies Arrotek Medical, Ward Automation, and Verus Metrology have come together to provide sponsorship for Irish middle-distance runner, John Travers. John aims to make it onto the Irish Olympic team to compete in the 5,000 metres long-distance track event in Japan in July/August. John said: "It is absolutely brilliant getting this support. I work full-time so it was hard to put my full focus on running. I've now given up work to concentrate on getting to the Olympics and this financial support has completely taken away the stress. I can now get into the qualifying races that...

Design verification is an important part of the medical device design and development process. It is an element that will be largely looked after by your medical device design partner. However, given it’s important to the overall process, it helps considerably if you have an overview of medical device design verification, why it’s important, and the key steps involved. Medical device design verification ensures design outputs meet the design input requirements. In other words, it is a process that ensures the new medical device is designed correctly. Design verification is required by regulators when they evaluate new medical device products....
Our new video explains how to use the free Arrotek calculator tool to estimate the design and development costs that will be involved to turn your idea for a medical device into a new product.
