Medical Device Regulation

Nicht lieferbare Medizinprodukte sind für Kliniken ein Albtraum – mitunter müssen sogar geplante OPs abgesagt werden. Die Folge: Die mit den Kostenträgern vereinbarten Leistungszahlen sind schwieriger zu erfüllen und es könnte zu schwer kompensierbaren Erlöseinbußen für die Leistungserbringer kommen. Die Medical Device Regulation (MDR) wird die Liefersituation von Medizinprodukten ab 2020 wahrscheinlich noch weiter verschärfen.

Clamping devices with constant force or pressure are desired in medical device, such as hemostatic forceps and the artificial sphincter, to prevent soft tissues from injures due to overloading. It is easily obtained by stretching an SMA wire. However, studies with SMA bending round bar have seldom been reported before. This paper studied constant force characteristic of C-shaped round bar with shape memory alloys. Optimization designs of the components were carried out with computational simulation. Numerical results show that the phenomenon of constant force strongly depends on contour curve shape and geometric dimensions of the C-shaped round bar of SMA component.

Cancerization Field

Actinic keratosis (AKs) are part of the cancerization field, a region adjacent to AKs containing subclinical and histologically abnormal epidermal tissue due to Ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA damage. The photoproducts as consequence of DNA damage induced by UV are mainly cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). Fernblock® demonstrated in previous studies significant reduction of the number of CPDs induced by UV radiation. Photolyases are a specific group of enzymes that remove the major UV-induced DNA lesions by a mechanism called photo-reactivation. A monocentric, prospective, controlled, and double blind interventional study was performed to evaluate the effect of a new medical device (NMD) containing a DNA-repair enzyme complex (photolyases, endonucleases and glycosilases), a combination of UV-filters, and Fernblock® in the treatment of the cancerization field in 30 AK patients after photodynamic therapy. Patients were randomized into two groups: patients receiving a standard sunscreen (SS) andpatients receiving the NMD. Clinical, dermoscopic, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and histological evaluations were performed. An increase of AKs was noted in all groups after three months of PDT without significant differences between them (p=0.476). A significant increase in the number of AKs was observed in SS group after six (p=0.026) and twelve months of PDT (p=0.038); however, this increase did not reach statistical significance in the NMD group. Regarding RCM evaluation, honeycomb pattern assessment after twelve months of PDT showed significant differences in the extension and grade of the atypia in the NMD group compared to SS group (p=0.030 and p=0.026, respectively). Concerning histopathological evaluation, keratinocyte atypia grade improved from baseline to six months after PDT in all the groups, with no statistically significant differences between the groups. Twelve months after PDT, p53 expression was significantly lower in the NMD group compared to SS group (p=0.028). The product was well-tolerated, with no serious adverse events reported. Our results provide evidence of the utility of this NMD in the improvement of the cancerization field and in the prevention of the development of new AKs.
