Accelerate medtech R&D and reduce costs with simulation

The rapidly evolving field of medical implants and devices demands unparalleled precision and safety. Simulation tools greatly improve patient safety by allowing extensive virtual testing under diverse physiological conditions.

This goes beyond what traditional physical tests can achieve. Researchers can analyze stress, predict fatigue, assess biocompatibility, and simulate device performance within the body. They can identify potential issues before a device is implanted, reducing risks and improving long-term results. For example, simulating blood flow for cardiovascular implants can optimize their design to prevent blood clots.

Simulations also give crucial insights into implant longevity and performance. By modeling how they interact with biological tissues over time, wear, material degradation, and the body's responses can be predicted. This data is vital for creating durable implants that remain functional throughout a patient's life.

In conclusion, simulation tools are indispensable for the advancement of body implants and medical devices. They drive innovation, enhance patient safety, improve device longevity, open doors to patient specificity, reduce costs, and accelerate regulatory pathways, ultimately leading to better health outcomes for millions of people worldwide. Their continued integration into the medical device lifecycle is paramount for the future of healthcare.

Join us at Institute Straumann AG in Basel to meet experts and peers from the Medtech field to discuss state of the art digital engineering for medical devices and the future of Medtech research and development.

Digital Engineering,  CADFEM and Ansys

Digital engineering means exploiting the full potential of digitalization throughout the entire product development process. CADFEM is a leading provider for simulation-based Digital Engineering: AI, Automation, workflows, centralized and efficient data management extend the advantages of simulations.

Digital engineering is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Its effectiveness hinges on accurately aligning technologies with the unique needs and circumstances of each organization. Technologies must be carefully selected and implemented to address the specific prerequisites and requirements of the individual organization.

To foster simulation-based digitalization of development processes, and entire product lifecycles, CADFEM provides its customers with unique set of expertise based on Ansys solutions.
