The FDA regulates medical devices sold in the U.S. to ensure they are safe and effective for patients.
However, only less than half of medical devices in clinical studies ever receive FDA clearance. What's more, a recall can cost a company a 10% drop in overall valuation, making the cost of failure too high for most companies
With advanced simulation tools in the 3DEXPERIENCE® Works portfolio, you can digitally validate device performance, rapidly explore device and patient variability, and study all types of physics, including structural, thermal, electromagnetics, flow, and fatigue.
Medical device design engineers use simulation with SOLIDWORKS design tools throughout the process to prevent downstream issues, mitigate risk, assure quality, and enable product development teams to build high-quality products faster and more efficiently.
