Medical Device Design – Considerations for Plastic Products

February 18, 2021

When designing a new medical product, manufacturers need to qualify their materials and processes early in development to ensure a successful launch. This is especially true with when using polymers in a device that must be biocompatible, resistant to chemicals and liquids, and strong enough to withstand constant use.

A new guide by EWI polymer engineers Jeff Ellis and Miranda Marcus, Designing Plastic Medical Devices: Materials and Process Considerations, helps product developers evaluate their designs early in the development stage to avoid process pitfalls and costly mistakes long before a new concept gets to production.
