O, O, O it’s magic, but can Oprah sell medical devices?

April 17, 2009 By MassDevice Leave a Comment

Brian Johnson

What’s more coveted than a Super Bowl ring, a Pulitzer prize and an Academy Award — rolled up into one?

A mention from Oprah, that’s what.

If you’re like me, and you have a Google Alert set for Eleme (I seriously doubt that, unless you’re Nancy Briefs), you might have noticed an uptick in activity.

That’s because the Merrimack, N.H.-based maker of SmoothShapes, a non-invasive laser treatment that blasts away cellulite, was featured in the May 2009 issue of O. That would, of course, be the official magazine of the Opraverse.

To stent or not to stent

Brad Perriello

You’d think after about 20 years, questions about the efficacy of stents would be settled. You’d be wrong.

Even as players large and small scramble to get the first bioabsorbable product to market, there are conflicting reports about the best way to treat heart disease — devices or drugs?

One step closer to science fiction, or just a really good idea?

April 7, 2009 By MassDevice Leave a Comment

Science fiction is always a few decades ahead of real life — sometimes more.

Remember those giant vegetables in Woody Allen’s 1973 film Sleeper, or the hover skateboard in Back to the Future II, or Mr Spock‘s razor-sharp sideburns in Star Trek?

A press release just came over the transom that reminds me of something I saw in the nearly-straight-to-video masterpiece Idiocracy.
