Medical Product Conceptualization and Development
At Design Department, Inc. (DDI), we specialize in developing concepts and prototypes for cutting-edge medical products. Our engineers and designers consider every stage of medical product development, from initial brainstorming to the final phases of prototyping and preparing for mass production.
DDI is also a reliable resource when your in-house engineers and developers need assistance troubleshooting or refining medical device requirements. Our experienced team identifies existing or potential design flaws, offering a crucial second set of eyes. We'll help remove roadblocks and find solutions to make your medical product concepts functional and ready for production. No matter the challenge, our team is here to overcome any issues your medical products may face.
Existing Medical Product Enhancement
Design Department clients rely on our team's experience and ingenuity to make improvements and enhancements to their medical products already on the market. This process can involve reducing costs by suggesting new materials, removing inefficient parts or features, decreasing bulky weights or sizes, or simply streamlining production to keep products viable. Our goal at DDI is to regularly improve the versatility and quality of your established medical devices and production processes using our proven enhancement techniques. These time and cost-saving measures will directly improve your production efficiency and profitability in the medical field.
Computer Aided Design Services
Our designers take ownership of their work and concepts, ensuring your medical product's appearance and functionality go hand-in-hand. We expertly map out medical product designs and CAD concepts using industry-leading programs like Pro-Engineer and SolidWorks. Our DDI staff are highly trained in the latest versions of these programs, complemented by our well-maintained and updated design and prototype production equipment. With our strong mechanical focus, you can be assured our team has the experience to use these tools correctly, with a critical eye on every detail from the very start of your medical device's development.
Medical Product Prototypes
All medical product concepts designed by our team are grounded in mechanical engineering principles, ensuring efficiency and functional soundness. We artistically design medical products to be aesthetically pleasing, but, more importantly, to perform optimally. Our prototypes are not just "desk trophies"; they are meticulously crafted to be possible and practical for production and distribution to medical consumers.
These robust medical product prototypes are brought to the "proof of concept" stage as functioning samples. They allow for rigorous testing, concept and design improvements, examination of durability, and assessment of all critical aspects specific to medical devices (e.g., battery life, product variables, overall performance, biocompatibility). Our diligent prototyping standards help prepare your medical product for efficient production with minimal retooling down the line.
