Product Development

GlobalMed Engineering is a full service product development company that is committed to developing innovative solutions for the medical device community. We combine creative and technical expertise to develop products from concept through the product development and production processes and into clinical use. Whether you are looking for a turnkey solution or to augment your internal resources, GlobalMed Engineering provides our partners with the following product development services:

Innovative Concept and Feasibility Assessment
GlobalMed Engineering performs regulatory, market, and intellectual property (IP) assessment to chart a path to a successful product.  We will create novel concepts that will be carefully analyzed, prototyped, and tested to ensure that the design functions per the customer requirements. 

Rapid Prototyping
During the development process, we produce rapid prototypes for functional, ergonomic, and sizing evaluations. This process is extremely efficient as it provides an almost immediate, low cost, and functional product to evaluate. Rapid prototyping allows prompt design changes prior to incurring high traditional manufacturing costs and lead times.

Comprehensive Design Services
GlobalMed Engineering utilizes the latest 3 dimensional (3D) software combined with finite element analysis (FEA) to rapidly develop robust and cost-effective product designs. FEA determines product performance, reliability, wear points, and predicts failures long before you commit to tooling or place production orders.  This improves profitability by dramatically reducing development time, rework and quality issues.

GlobalMed Engineering seamlessly integrates into our partner’s design control procedures or we develop new design control procedures, if a system is needed, to maintain compliance. We integrate current technologies into new product development, achieve superior return on investment (ROI), accelerate time to market, and create a positive business impact.
