The Big Picture On Small Medical Device Components

Having an idea for a new medical device that can treat a condition, restore mobility, help to alleviate pain or discomfort or to give someone a chance to get back to a healthy life is an amazing opportunity for a company. However, it is also just the very tip of the iceberg when it comes to actually getting the device designed, prototyped, tested, approved, produced and then marketed.

At Aztalan Engineering, Inc., we have worked with small medical device companies and some of the leaders in the industry. We understand the challenges and the steps in design to production of these devices. With our experience in the precision manufacturing of medical device components, we are also uniquely positioned to work with your team throughout the process.

Engineering Support

In the design stage of any medical device components, our engineering team can work with your design and engineering team. This allows us to share our expertise to avoid extensive revisions of the design which will slow down the process and extend the time to approval and market.

Our engineers can also assist your design team in selecting the most appropriate materials. We understand the different requirements in materials for various classes of medical devices, which can make selecting the lowest cost and best-suited material much easier.

Cost Analysis

We can run a DFMA or Design for Manufacturability an Assembly report for you on the design once it is developed. This will allow your company to review the current cost of production. We can often suggest alternative materials or even different machining and manufacturing options that will achieve the same desired results in your medical device components while helping to lower overall production costs.

By taking advantage of these services, prior to the prototype development, project management and full production services we offer, your company can streamline this initial stage of the process. We can customize our services to meet your needs, making it a cost-effective option at any stage of development.
