ABOUT THIS BOOK
The Medical Device R&D (Research and Development) Handbook is the
fruition of a personal desire to see some of the practical information on
how to develop medical devices compiled in one place. I wanted to write
a book that I wish had been available when I first started in medical
device design.
This book contains three main threads. The first thread is practical.
There are many excellent books that give in depth theory on specialized
medical and technology subjects in medical device engineering, but not
a general practical how-to manual. This part of the book seeks to serve
that need.
There is a great deal of practical skill, developed by very intelligent
and clever people, to be found in specialized areas of the medical device
industry. Having worked for a succession of medical device start-up
companies, each new area seemed to have its own fund of “tribal knowl-
edge” that, for various reasons, did not seem to percolate much out of
the tribe. Working for start-ups and developing products for different
medical specialties was somewhat like joining a succession of guilds.
There is also little cross-over between certain fields such as engineering
and medical illustration. One of the goals of this book is to collect some
of the knowledge of these practical skills, such as medical device proto-
typing, plastics selection, and catheter construction and make them more
readily accessible to the hands-on designer. The skills may be well known
to those who work in a specialized area, but not as well known to those
outside that specialty. Some of this information is usually learned “on the
job” if you happen to have that kind of a job. This book brings you this
type of information. Having knowledge of these practical skills can allow
the designer to combine and apply these specialized techniques in new
and innovative ways, and save valuable time.
