Precision parts for clinical use

Products taken from CAD to the shelf: a heated stage for embryo handling, a sperm-capacitation plate developed through several prototype rounds into a boxed product, and a surgical vacuum ring.

Scope
Product design · prototypes · DFM

Clinical products leave no room for sloppy tolerances. The heated table went from a CAD model to a finished, branded product.

The capacitation plate went through several prototype rounds before the final design. It now ships in its own retail box.
