Designing medical products and devices are one of the most challenging and prized market areas within the industrial design profession. There are many reasons industrial designers compete so rigorously for medical product design. Medical products must be visually appealing, ergonomically optimized, highly functional, they are beneficial to society and they are always based on the “state of the art technologies” at any given time. These are only a few reasons why medical products are so exciting to design.

Visually appealing

Ergonomically optimized

Highly functional

Beneficial to society

State of the Art Technology

Integrated Design Systems has provided design expertise to large and small medical device companies offering products including body fluid analyzers, imaging products, rehabilitation products, surgical devices, and countless other devices. All these products have required expertise in human factors, mechanical engineering, manufacturing/process knowledge, material science, market analysis and every other discipline associated with industrial design. Even within each of these disciplines, subcategories of expertise are required for most medical devices. For example, human factors studies would focus on the hand for endoscopes and surgical devices.

Alternatively CAT scan tables require human factors considerations for various body types, ages and physical limitations.

Some medical products are manufactured in high production volumes and are specified for injection molding while others must be carefully designed in multiple processes and materials because of their specialized market.

Our expertise in plastics materials, manufacturing processes, human factors, FDA compliance, UL, mechanical engineering and many other disciplines provides us with a unique ability to develop creative design solutions for your specific requirements. It doesn't matter whether your product is a small handheld probe, tabletop analyzer or large room sized medical device, Integrated Design Systems will provide you with a product with market presence and customer appeal. We have a proven track record for companies ranging in size from Bayer Diagnostics to AFP Imaging. Our design excellence has been recognized by the Society of Plastics Engineers and ID Magazine with design awards issued for various medical products we have developed.
