About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

TISSIUM to Present Study Results at the Hernia 2021 European Hernia Society – American Hernia Society Joint Congress

TISSIUM, a privately-owned medtech company developing biomorphic programmable polymers for tissue reconstruction, will present an e-poster on its research on a novel, atraumatic, and consistent hernia mesh fixation device at the Hernia 2021 European Hernia Society – American Hernia Society Joint Congress. The event is scheduled to be held virtually and in-person from October 13 – October 16, 2021 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

TISSIUM is developing a portfolio of products that leverage its unique biopolymer platform based on a novel biocompatible, biomorphic and biodegradable material, which is a highly viscous, light-activated surgical adhesive.

The unique properties of this material make it ideal for use in minimally invasive scenarios such as hernia repair. In this scenario, the TISSIUM product facilitates mesh affixation and accurate positioning over the hernia defect, while avoiding the trauma caused by traditional penetrating fixation methods.

Dr. Frederik Berrevoet, University Hospital of Gent, said: “Regarding this new polymer, surgeons don’t have the possibility to make mistakes during application, whereas for tacks you need to do things right.”

The results that will be presented at the Hernia 2021 European Hernia Society – American Hernia Society Joint Congress demonstrate the high potential of TISSIUM technology in minimally invasive surgery and, more specifically, in ventral hernia repair.

About the results:

The presented research consists of a study that evaluated the safety and performance of the TISSIUM system as an alternative to tacks in laparoscopic IPOM. Ventral hernias were created in a porcine animal model and treated using composite meshes that were fixed either with commercially available penetrating fixation devices or TISSIUM’s novel adhesive technology. Specifically, TISSIUM’s hernia mesh fixation device prevented re-herniation, promoted good mesh integration into, and long-term mesh fixation to, the underlying tissue. Due to its atraumatic nature and biocompatibility properties, the device demonstrated good local tissue tolerance. TISSIUM’s technology is designed to be atraumatic and offers multiple key usability differentiating points compared to standard penetrating fixation methods and other adhesives.

About TISSIUM:

TISSIUM, a privately-owned medtech company based in Paris, France and Boston, USA is dedicated to the development and commercialization of products derived from its unique biopolymer platform. The company’s products will address multiple unmet clinical needs, including atraumatic tissue repair and reconstruction.

TISSIUM is developing a portfolio of products that leverage its proprietary family of fully biosynthetic, biomorphic and programmable polymers, which are the foundation of the company’s technology platform. Currently, the Company has a pipeline of seven products across three verticals, including sutureless nerve repair, hernia repair and cardiovascular sealants. Each product is designed to enhance the tissue reconstruction process in a unique way. In addition, the company develops complementary delivery and activation devices for enhanced performance and usability of its products.

TISSIUM’s technology is based on world-class research and intellectual property from the laboratories of Professor Robert Langer (MIT) and Professor Jeffrey M. Karp (Brigham and Women’s Hospital), who co-founded the company in 2013. For more information, please visit: www.TISSIUM.com and @TISSIUMtech.
