Our Medical Device Design Process
Our mission is simple. We innovate to create successful products that improve people's lives. We achieve this by bringing together some of the brightest and most highly motivated industrial designers and mechanical, electronics and software engineers, ensuring they are ready to solve your medical product design challenges using our proven, structured medical device development process.
Our four stage process covers everything from user research and human factors, through to design, engineering and prototyping to production, verification testing and market approval. From initial brief to production-ready design, our process is collaborative, transparent and driven by clinical insights. Every stage is geared towards regulatory readiness, manufacturability and innovation. Essential components of successful medical product design and device development.
Patents and IP are an increasingly important part of medical product design, with certain device areas having huge numbers of patents which need to be avoided. IDC has wide experience of avoiding competitor IP and securing patents for the innovative medical devices we create. In choosing to work with IDC you’ll be investing in a trustworthy partner who will ensure you not only get an innovative new product but you also get high quality, cost effective and reliable production delivered on time and on budget.
Thanks to our in-house facilities, we can rapidly prototype, test and refine medical devices, significantly reducing project risk and timelines. Our experience with Class I to III devices and global compliance frameworks makes us a trusted partner for both start-ups and major healthcare brands.
