  • Childish

    The idea of the podcast In Medtech is a great idea but running it as child program with infantile jokes seems ridiculous.

    I would prefer having adults that have funnier jokes and more in-depth perception.

  • Really enjoying the DeviceTalks podcast. Tom and Chris are extremely knowledgeable about the medtech

    A great podcast for anyone interetsed in medical device technology with two highly informed and charming hosts. Tom and Chris have their fingers on the pulse of the industry and regularly interview some of the most impactful members of the med tech community. The content is accessible to anyone so don't be intimidated if you aren't an engineer or a surgeon. The guys do a fantastic job of keeping things casual and fun while delving into some fairly complex suibject matter. A+

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inner Logic CEO Porras explains how autonomous surgery can save us from looming surgeon shortage
Q: You were training as a neurosurgeon. What convinced you to take a different direction and pursue entrepreneurship?
He recognized a fundamental bottleneck in training and access to expert surgical knowledge, concluded that building scalable software and data-driven tools could democratize education and enable safer, more efficient device development.
Medtronic’s Grubb on Bringing a Structuralist Perspective to a Growing Structural Heart Portfolio
Q: What drew you from pediatric surgery into a chief medical officer role in structural heart at Medtronic?
A combination of opportunity, prior consulting work, and mentorship from leadership at Medtronic, plus a desire to impact a broader patient population by applying business and clinical insights to scale innovative therapies.
Is Fractyl poised to create a new MedTech market by helping former GLP-1 users keep weight off?
Q: What does the future look like in terms of expansion beyond weight maintenance, including potential Type 2 diabetes restoration or other programs?
We plan to revisit Type 2 diabetes with Revita tied to metabolic benefits, explore Rejuva as a gene-therapy approach for long-term remission, and continue to build a center-of-excellence launch to scale adoption while considering payer dynamics and off-ramp opportunities.
Is Fractyl poised to create a new MedTech market by helping former GLP-1 users keep weight off?
Q: Can you describe the key trials and what makes their design robust for credible weight maintenance relief after GLP-1 therapy.
We arranged Reveal One open-label and Remain One Midpoint sham-controlled cohorts, then a pivotal cohort of over 300 patients; these studies collectively show durable weight maintenance after stopping GLP-1 therapy, with safety comparable to controls.
Is Fractyl poised to create a new MedTech market by helping former GLP-1 users keep weight off?
Q: Take us through that process and that decision when you redirected from Type 2 diabetes to post-GLP-1 weight maintenance.
We paused our Type 2 diabetes program after seeing that post-GLP-1 weight maintenance could be addressed with a less invasive approach, and we rapidly designed a pivotal trial and secured regulatory designations while leveraging existing data to justify the shift.
