Our approach to Medical and Scientific device development

With development processes aligned to key standards and regulations in the EU and US, we have broad experience of delivering strategically important and technically demanding projects for clients across the medical and scientific industries.

Our large multidisciplinary development team comprises mechanical engineers, electronics and software engineers, industrial designers, usability and interaction design experts, researchers, prototyping technicians and specialist project managers.

We offer a comprehensive design service to the medical and scientific industries

From idea to industrialisation…

We add value throughout the product development lifecycle, from identifying initial project direction and carrying out comprehensive design and development, through to detailed technical support for industrialisation and on into production. All with a proven integrated service that is designed to help our clients achieve commercial success.

Our skills include product development strategy, project management, intellectual property strategy, concept creation, feasibility studies, design auditing, due diligence, risk management, systems engineering, usability, detailed design development, mathematical modelling, computer simulation and advanced analysis, prototyping, design for manufacture and assembly, UX/UI design, electronic hardware design, medical device software development, evaluation testing, design verification, supplier selection and technical support throughout industrialisation and production.

We can provide comprehensive support for client controlled projects and complete turnkey development services, as well as focused input at any stage of a project.

Improving the success of product innovation

Successful products result from well planned and well executed development programmes where there is a clear understanding of risk. We bring deep experience and technical know-how gained from over six decades of designing market leading products for our clients.

Our approach is systematic, with a development culture founded on building a comprehensive understanding of the essential parameters that underpin product performance, user acceptance and manufacturability for the designs we create. These clear insights together with significant expertise in designing project programmes, make it possible to consistently deliver development projects with the highest probability of success.

We have an extraordinary track record of delivering successful products and devices for our clients

Our medical device development procedures are designed to capture design inputs and provide design outputs that meet the requirements of ISO 13485, ISO 14971, 21CFR820, IEC 62304 and IEC 62366 supporting submissions in US, EU and other major markets.

Developed and proven through many hundreds of projects, our processes, methods and development tools have been honed to create effective and efficient working practices. We also work with flexibility, tailoring outputs to integrate easily with our client’s quality management systems.

Agile development procedures

Navigating complex IP landscapes

Creating and developing intellectual property is at the heart of what we do for our clients.

Much of our design work takes place within densely populated IP spaces, requiring sophisticated problem solving techniques and detailed strategic thinking to navigate successfully.

We can provide a broad range of services for our clients in this area including strategic planning, concept creation, monitoring of patent landscapes and expert support for patent applications and litigation.
