PROCESS
01 | Design Input
We believe the best results come from collaboration. It all begins with asking the right questions and then listening closely. Once we understand exactly what you need out of a case or tray, we provide thoughtful solutions to solve your medical product design challenges.
02 | Conceptual Design
With a shared vision in place, we work closely with you engineering team to design concepts and create rough layouts of the product being produced. This allows us to collectively see the instrument placement and planned functionality before investing time in the details.
03 | Detailed Design
Our design team starts to pull it all together, ensuring each instrument will be secure during the rigors of use. Our goal here is to use as few components as possible in our trays, which helps reduce cost, assembly time, potential assembly defects, and helps maximize sterilizability.
04 | Prototype
This is where the fun begins. We produce a fit and function prototype, allowing you to touch and test the product for instrument fit and to even perform sterilization validation testing. If any issues arise, we resolve them quickly before going into production.
Let Estes take your medical product design to the next level.
Case Studies
Medical Product Design Success
Dr. Babak Hassid, otherwise known as Dr. Bobby, a New-York based cardiologist and highly respected doctor at Northwell Health, realized there was a problem when a surgeon was working in a cath lab; the lead vest that must be worn is extremely heavy and wears on the surgeon, expending energy and making surgery much more difficult. The client wanted to created an invention that would take the weight of the vest off the surgeon, while also allowing for the mobility necessary for the surgeon to be successful.
Our prototype and product development team worked together to design and develop a completely custom system that used a cable and zero-gravity suspension tool to remove the weight of the lead vest and also allow surgeons the flexibility to move as needed.
The newly developed product has been successfully used in several surgeries and doctors have noticed the difference the zero-gravity suspension tool has made in making their surgeries much easier.
