DFM Enables Repeatable Micro-Features In Cardiovascular Device Prototyping

Challenge

A global cardiovascular market leader needed help producing a game-changing medical device for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. As conceived, the device would overcome some of the then-current standard of care’s limitations, making it easier and faster for physicians to perform the procedure. However, several critical micro-feature design challenges needed to be overcome before it could be manufactured repeatedly with consistency. The company turned to its longtime contract manufacturing partner Donatelle for design for manufacturability (DFM) engineering support.
