Mechanical Design
We design the physical architecture of medical devices with attention to integration, manufacturability, form factor, and long-term product evolution.
Our work spans enclosure strategy, packaging concepts, constrained geometry, board-to-mechanics integration, and material-driven decisions for products where physical feasibility is tightly linked to system performance.
What We Do
We define the physical architecture of medical devices - how the system fits together, what it is made of, and how that structure supports the product through development, manufacturing, and long-term use.
Our work spans enclosure and packaging strategy, constrained form factor definition, board-to-mechanics integration, material and process selection, interface design, and the practical decisions that determine whether a device can be assembled, tested, and evolved as the program matures. We treat mechanical design as part of the product system, not as a downstream task that inherits constraints from other disciplines - which is exactly why we engage early, when mechanical decisions can still be made without forcing costly redesigns later.
Our experience is deepest in implantable and wearable products, where the physical architecture is shaped by factors that have no equivalent in general product design: implant location and surgical approach, intended duration inside the body, lead and feedthrough interfaces, biocompatibility requirements, hermeticity, battery geometry, and the relationship between enclosure strategy and manufacturing at scale. These are not features to be added to a design - they are architecture drivers.
When it comes to packaging strategy, we help teams evaluate the realistic options for their stage of development: what makes sense for early builds (speed, cost, learning), what the transition toward a clinical-grade enclosure looks like, and what material and supplier choices are actually available given the program timeline and constraints. That evaluation is one of the concrete outputs we provide, because committing to the wrong packaging path early is one of the more expensive mistakes in device development.
