The goal of the new device section is the description of new devices as they develop from their first appearance in the blueprints, through bench testing and animal models, finally down to the patient. We are particularly interested in technical descriptions of devices, since a common complaint from interventionalists is the poor or incomprehensible technical report of a device.We are keen to develop this concept in conjunction with the industry, whilst safeguarding corporate concerns but also maintaining our professional integrity.

Sections of the New devices/ Technical reports: (1) Title of device, (2) Company name, (3) Author(s), (4) Description, (5) History, (6) Technical specifications, (7) Indications for use, (8) Tips and tricks for delivery (use), (9) (Pre) Clinical experience, (10) Figures - images and moving images.
