Medical Device Design

We propose medical device design features, materials, and manufacturing methods to meet your performance requirements and business goals.

At Medical Murray, our medical device design engineers become an extension of your team. We deliver creative solutions for implants and catheters based on extensive device innovation experiences across a variety of markets. Our solutions consider three aspects: design features, material selection, and manufacturing methods.

Design for Manufacturing

We design medical products that meet performance requirements while staying aligned with your business goals by integrating design for manufacturing principles early in the development process. Medical Murray provides scalable prototype plans, Design for Manufacturing (DFM), and Design for Assembly (DFA) guidance that meets design specifications while staying within budget.

Medical Murray can also help you manufacture your product once the medical device design is ready to build. Learn more here.

Material Selection

Selecting the best materials can be as critical as the design features themselves. Medical Murray has extensive education and experience in selecting the optimal materials for single-use and implantable medical device designs. Our engineers are always experimenting with new and innovative materials to use in our development and prototyping processes.

Our materials experience allows us to consider these factors within the selection process

  • Physical requirements
  • Biocompatibility
  • Chemical characteristics
  • Processing methods & limitations
  • Sterilization effects
  • Shelf-life stability
