A new standard in medical device packaging optimizes device protection, improves size and cost economy while using less packaging material.
SWANTON, Ohio , Sept. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In today’s market environment, OEMs are confronted with escalating operating costs and limited options for passing on these increases. Guardian Medical recognizes this challenge and possesses a distinct capability to address these cost pressures while ensuring exceptional outcomes in sterile packaging.
“Minimal Footprint Packaging (MFP) redefines how decisions are made about sterile packaging. Drawing inspiration from an industry that does an exceptional job at sizing implants for patients, we took that same approach and applied it to packaging with our CapSure system,” says Don Kennedy, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Guardian Medical.
“At its core, MFP is about right-sizing sterile packaging for any medical device. Optimizing the size, reducing the number of components, using recyclable materials, and minimizing system costs throughout the life of the sterile package; produces the best outcomes for the OEM, package user, and environment,” says Tracy Momany, President and CEO at Guardian Medical.
Industry professionals familiar with Minimal Footprint Packaging™ have shared their comments about its approach:
“COGS evaluations associated with a packaging system should include every aspect of the manufacturing and distribution processes, including the cost of assembly, sterilization, distribution, storage, etc. Often, significant cost reductions in these areas can easily justify material price increases,” said Paul Marshall, Director, Labeling and Packaging Development at Zimmer Biomet.
Santiago Beltran, Principal Engineer of Packaging/Labeling/Sterilization at ATEC, states, “Our industry is constantly seeking to make improvements for our end users that benefit their patients. Sterile packaging plays a crucial role in delivering efficiency and integrity to those improvements in the OR. Minimal Footprint Packaging fully embraces the importance and significance of delivering a product to the OR that is fully protected, easy, and quick to use.”
Guardian Medical is a company that specializes in creating advanced packaging solutions for medical devices. We design, develop, manufacture, and distribute sterile packaging and packaging services to ensure the safety and sterility of medical devices and implants. Our focus on innovation allows us to offer unique and efficient sterile packaging solutions to the medical industry.

Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS), one of the largest independent cardiovascular practices in the country, chose IronRod Health to manage their ‘at home’ blood pressure monitoring program. In April 2023, CIS was named a Million Hearts® Hypertension Control Champion by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for achieving more than 80% control rates in adult hypertensive patients. Through their partnership with IronRod Health, CIS looks to achieve their next goal of 90% control rates in their hypertensive patients.
PHOENIX, Sept. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS), one of the largest independent cardiovascular practices in the country, chose IronRod Health to manage their ‘at home’ blood pressure monitoring program. In April 2023, CIS was named a Million Hearts® Hypertension Control Champion by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for achieving more than 80% control rates in adult hypertensive patients. Through their partnership with IronRod Health, CIS looks to achieve their next goal of 90% control rates in their hypertensive patients.
CIS has created an extensive program called Cardio@Home which allows patients to have a custom-tailored program focused on modifying lifestyle behaviors for improved cardiovascular health. This program is fully-managed by CIS, apart from remote patient monitoring (RPM) which they elected IronRod to use as a managed service partner.
CIS evaluated 10 vendors as potential partners for the remote patient monitoring program. After an evaluation period that lasted over a year, CIS decided that IronRod Health was the partner to help elevate their at-home blood pressure monitoring program. This was the result of IronRod’s end-to-end support platform, integrated software, and ability to customize a partnership that could scale as the program grows. Together, both CIS and IronRod share in the vision of using technology to reduce healthcare costs, improve time efficiencies, and most importantly – provide better patient outcomes.
IronRod’s RPM program will not only be fully integrated with Cardio@Home, but it will also be integrated throughout their regular clinic and virtual care center to ensure a complete continuum of care. “IronRod’s platform and services deliver efficiencies and incremental revenue to CIS, which of course, is important,” said Jude Hebert, Executive Vice President of Nursing Services at CIS. “However, what is critical is their ability to collect, analyze, and understand what RPM data tells you to make proactive decisions and improve patient health outcomes and save lives.”
“We are proud to partner with a leader and a pioneer like the Cardiovascular Institute of the South,” said Andrew Nash, CEO of IronRod. “For nearly 40 years, CIS has been advancing innovation and technology into medical practice. Through our state-of-the-art RPM monitoring, analysis, and processing, we look forward to partnering with CIS to help them meet their goals for managing their patients with hypertension and expand into their a-fib and heart failure management programs.”
Solutions that combine new technology with end-to-end support platforms, like the one offered by IronRod Health and utilized by CIS, save lives and improve the quality of life for millions of patients. Data collected remotely from patients is interpreted and transmitted to clinicians who proactively make care decisions. When managed and handled expertly, remote patient monitoring programs introduce efficiencies that save patients money and more importantly, improve outcomes.
About IronRod Health: IronRod Health (https://www.ironrod.health/) is the leader and premier provider of end-to-end remote patient monitoring solutions in the United States. IronRod Health provides equipment, personnel, and technology – including proprietary software – to support healthcare providers through remote physiological monitoring, implantable device monitoring, and wearable cardiac monitoring.
The solutions provided by IronRod Health offer better and more efficient care, which contributes to improved outcomes and quality of life for patients.
About Cardiovascular Institute of the South: Cardiovascular Institute of the South (https://www.cardio.com/) was founded in 1983 by Dr. Craig Walker, who first established the company as a one-physician practice in Houma, Louisiana. At that time, the city was experiencing one of the highest cardiovascular disease mortality rates in the nation. Driven by a desire to serve and heal people in his community, Dr. Walker envisioned CIS as a leader in the development of new techniques and technologies in the treatment of both coronary and peripheral artery diseases.
Cardiovascular Institute of the South is now one of the largest independent cardiovascular practices in the country, with over 60 physicians across 21 locations in Louisiana and Mississippi and 23 additional physicians under management in Chicago, IL.

“In the worst times in my life, in the most difficult times in my life – at those times I felt like I was all alone. Like nobody could relate to what I’m going through, nobody has any idea what I’m experiencing. There’s no way anybody could ever have had this happen to them before on this planet, because it’s happening to me,” said Haddish, who was placed in foster care as a child after her mother was in a car accident. “And then I ended up in these court-ordered counseling groups with all these other kids going through if not the same thing, something even more devastating than what I was going through. And it made me realize that I’m not alone and there must be some reason for it.” After a counselor encouraged her to research successful people who had experienced hardship, Haddish said, “From that, it made me look at every person I’ve ever looked up to and realize, No one is successful without drama, trouble, stress, angst, loneliness.”
Haddish also urged the audience, “Be present. We are here on this planet to be amongst each other, to learn from each other and to grow from each other.”
“Spotlight on Loneliness: Advocating for Connection in a Time of Social Isolation” kicked off with an intimate conversation between California First Partner Jennifer Newsom and Payton Iheme, moderated by Elise Loehnen, author and host of the podcast Pulling The Thread. During the chat, Newsom said that while the pandemic exacerbated the situation, “I’d already had enough lived experience with family and friends and extended family to then witness what was happening in our society… The fact that our society has evolved away from a care society, it’s not a surprise that we’ve landed where we are in this capitalist society that’s been so invested in the individual and individual success, and not valued the feminine and care and community and empathy. And I think we have this incredible opportunity to right the ship, but it’s everywhere all around us.”
“The inability to admit that you don’t have friends and that you are lonely brings shame and silence. That ranges from the person who’s eating her lunch in the bathroom in high school to the the person who’s struggling in advocacy raising money and changing laws to someone who also has the strength to tell their personal backstory,” Iheme said, “The reason that’s so important is for people who haven’t been able to lift their shame and tell their story, they can live through others’ advocacy work, and through people who are brave enough to tell their story – and know there’s something positive on the other side.”
Bumble recently launched its Bumble for Friends offering as a separate app “as part of our larger efforts to support kind connections,” Iheme said. A recent Bumble For Friends survey in the U.S. found that more than 1 in 3 respondents have met their friends online, whether through apps or social media, amd 67% of Gen-Z respondents shared that making new friends online lessened their loneliness
A panel with actor/director Daniel Ezra (“All American”); Tay Lautner, RN and co-host of the podcast The Squeeze with her husband Taylor Lautner; and music artist Rachel Platten (“Fight Song”) concluded the event. They each shared their own experiences with loneliness and the ways they care for their mental health while being in the public eye. “It’s supposed to be messy, it’s supposed to be hard at times, and this struggle and discomfort is part of the whole story,” Ezra said.
The event marks Hollywood & Mind’s second event. Earlier this year, during Mental Health Awareness Month, the organization held its inaugural Summit at UTA, where it brought together executives and talent across television, film, music and tech with mental health experts for conversations on topics including mental health storytelling, the power of song, opportunities to elevate mental wellness through technology, and the evolution of partnerships among mental health organizations and creators.

Bumble, the women-first dating and social networking app, was founded by CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd in 2014. Bumble connects people across dating (Bumble Date), friendship (Bumble BFF) and professional networking (Bumble Bizz). Bumble is built on the importance of equitable relationships and how crucial they are to a healthy, happy life. They’ve built their platform around kindness, respect, and equality – and their community plays an important part in that. Bumble holds its users accountable for their actions and strives to provide them with an experience free from hate, aggression, or bullying. Bumble is free to download and is widely available in the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and the web.
Bumble’s public policy team has focused on non-consensual intimate image abuse (NCII) since 2019 when they passed their first law prohibiting the sending of unsolicited lewd photos in their home state of Texas. The company has since passed similar laws in California and Virginia, and introduced bills in Michigan, Wisconsin, DC, Maryland, and New York. Bumble’s mission is to create a world where all relationships are healthy and equitable by creating a safer, kinder internet. Over the last few years, Bumble’s Public Policy team has launched a new NCII-focused coalition with Panorama Global aimed at building the capacity of existing global NCII NGOs, advocated for stronger NCII laws, and facilitated a channel for industry-NGO collaboration. Bumble also joined as a founding member of the Partnership on AI’s “Responsible Practices for Synthetic Media: A Framework for Collective Action” to promote responsible practices in the development, creation, and sharing of media created with generative AI.
