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.

New investigator-initiated clinical trials of BellaSeno´s resorbable tissue regeneration scaffolds to be conducted in Europe

  • New clinical trial site opened in Italy for pectus excavatum and planned in Germany for bone reconstruction
  • Company aims to expand EU market authorization from custom-made to off-the-shelf products and and to pursue market approval in the USA

Leipzig, Germany, January 31, 2024BellaSeno GmbH, an ISO 13485-certified medtech company developing resorbable scaffolds using additive manufacturing technologies, today announced that additional, investigator-initiated clinical trials of its novel regenerative scaffolds for bone reconstruction and chest-wall defects (pectus excavatum) will be conducted in Germany and Italy, respectively. In 2023, BellaSeno had received market authorization for its custom-made, resorbable bone and pectus excavatum scaffolds in Europe.

The clinical pectus excavatum trial in Italy will enroll a total of 10 patients, with 4 individuals having undergone surgery already. While initial clinical use cases in Australia demonstrated promisingoutcomes last year, this is the first time that a fully resorbable sternal prosthesis is being used in Europe. For each patient, the prosthesis was individually designed and 3D printed using polycaprolactone - a proven medical material in use for decades, e.g., for resorbable suture material. There will be a 2-year patient follow-up to assess the outcome of the operation.

Following the publication of first clinical data by BellaSeno, a total of four European university hospitals have announced their plans to set up independent, investigator-initiated clinical trials to investigate further into this promising technology. Among the first sites, the Clinic for Trauma and Reconstructive Surgery at the University Hospital Heidelberg under the lead of Professor Dr. med. Gerhard Schmidmaier plans to initiate its IIT in Q1/2024, aiming to include up to 20 patients with a follow-up time of 2 years.

"We are excited that several leading European university hospitals have decided to evaluate our scaffolds in independent clinical trials. This will help us obtain further clinical evidence on our proprietary approach of treating both soft and hard tissue defects," said Dr. Mohit Chhaya, Chief Executive Officer of BellaSeno. "The addition of real-world data will be beneficial for our planned market approval for off-the-shelf breast and bone reconstruction products in the USA and EU."

“We look forward to learning more about the scientific background of BellaSeno's groundbreaking technology, especially how such a scaffold is being vascularized while it secures the position of the autologous bone graft in a large size defect,” said Professor Dr. med. Gerhard Schmidmaier, the primary investigator of the IIT in Heidelberg. “The initial results are promising, and as a team, we are committed to supporting these trials comprehensively. This technology has the potential to deliver a step change in the field of regenerative medicine, and we are eager to demonstrate the benefits it brings to patients with complex reconstructive needs.”

BellaSeno´s MDR-certified manufacturing platform is designed to meet the requirements of medical scaffolds ranging from soft tissue to bone and enables the production of both custom-made and off-the-shelf sterile medical implants.
