For medical devices, rarely does “one size fit all”. The human body is extremely variable and patient populations, especially those with disease present a wide range of differences that the medical device design engineer must consider.
Identifying the worst case size for a product family is an important part of the validation process for implantable [...]
Finite Element Analysis is an excellent engineering tool for optimizing medical implants. It provides a fast and reliable method for evaluating both the performance and safety issues associated with any given product. A variety of design concepts can be evaluated and relative safety factors determined for the full size range of an intended product.
Parametric studies [...]
