Specialized Tubing and Machined Components for Medical Devices: Prototyping and Design Expertise Improves Manufacturability
August 15, 2011 10:37 am | by Alicia Puputti | Articles | CommentsAs minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is performed more often, the highly engineered medical devices used in MIS are in greater demand. Metal tubing, in particular, has become a significant element of new MIS devices. For instance, the MIS procedure typically starts with a metal tube piercing the abdominal wall. It is through these ports that all subsequent devices pass. Designing for manufacturability (DFM) provides economical, quick-to-market product delivery to customers, and is a key to success for tube fabricators.
