Synopsis
Medical Device Design, Second Edition, provides the bridge between engineering design and medical devices development. There is no single text that addresses the plethora of design issues a medical devices designer meets when developing new products or improving older ones; this book fills that need. It addresses medical devices regulatory (FDA and EU) requirements. This Handbook shows the essential methodologies medical designers must understand to ensure their products meet requirements. It brings together proven design protocols and puts them in an explicit medical context, based on the authors' years of experience in academia (R&D phase) and industrial (commercialization phase) experience. This design methodology enables engineers and medical device manufacturers to bring new products to the market place rapidly.
This book is unique because it takes the reader through the process of medical device development from the very early stages of conceptualization all the way to commercialization on the global market, whilst being easy to read. This book stands out as a rare book that can be used by both professionals and newcomers to device design; it is written in straightforward and clear language and yet provides a vast amount of practical knowledge.
