Braiding is an essential component in many minimally invasive medical devices, including some of the most advanced interventional and diagnostic catheters. Medical device braiding is also used in positioning devices, occlusion devices, expandable delivery sheaths, and more. As it’s an essential component, designing medical device braiding is an important part of the new product development … Designing Medical Device Braiding – Achieving Optimum Levels of Performance

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) systems are commonly used in procedures to treat aortic stenosis by improving the flow of blood in the heart. This can have a transformative impact on patients, especially as TAVI procedures are minimally invasive and significantly reduce the need for open heart surgery. TAVI procedures are also referred to as … Designing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) Systems

Design for manufacturing (DFM) or design for manufacturability involves designing a medical device component or product so it can be efficiently manufactured. Adopting DFM principles during the product design stages of your project ensures a smoother design transfer process and, ultimately, improves the quality of your product once manufacturing begins. Examples of the questions that … Medical Device Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Best Practices

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) is a set of principles that ensure new medical device products can be efficiently manufactured. The primary goal of DFM is to reduce manufacturing complexities, costs, and problems while maintaining quality, safety, and performance, particularly in relation to the product’s defined functionality requirements. The elements of a product’s design that engineers … Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Best Practices When Designing Medical Device Products

Sensors are becoming increasingly critical components of new and innovative catheter products. As sensor technologies develop further, a number of design considerations must be taken into account when integrating sensors into catheters. A key objective in the design process is to ensure the catheter is safe and performs as intended. When that is achieved, sensors … Design Considerations When Integrating Sensors into Catheters
