R&D and Design

Viewing ALL listings in R&D and Design

Creating a concept for a new medical device is only the initial step; contract manufacturers are frequently required to utilize their research and development knowledge and design skills to turn an idea into a feasible device component. Research is crucial to understanding the market’s need for the proposed medical device, and the development utilizes knowledge of creating similar products with the latest technology to create a medical device with the best possible combination of quality and cost. Designers utilize computer aided design (CAD) and modeling software to create not only the shape of the medical device, but to determine factors like the flow rates of the materials comprising the components to see if satisfactory parts can be made. Designers also face the challenge of making medical device more ergonomic, or out of materials that provide a certain feel or improved grip, while still considering other necessary properties such as microbial or shatter resistance. Since the expertise required to perform R&D and design tasks resulting in a successful medical device is extensive, many outside design firms or contract manufacturers are utilized rather than performing these steps in-house.
