Why Medical Device Prototypes are Essential<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

When you have a great idea that you know will ultimately improve the world of health care, it\u2019s hard to be patient. You want to get the new product designed, manufactured, and distributed as soon as possible so you can start having a positive impact.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

However, quality medical devices aren\u2019t made quickly. They require copious prototyping, testing, and tweaking to create. Our team of medical device design<\/a><\/strong> and prototyping experts broke down some of the most important reasons why prototypes are essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third Time’s the Charm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Or maybe it\u2019s the fourth, or fifth, or even the thousandth time. When it comes to inventing or designing, it\u2019s more important to get it right than to get it done quickly. In fact, Thomas Edison famously went through over ten thousand prototypes for the light bulb before he came up with his finished product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That doesn\u2019t mean that medical devices can\u2019t be produced quickly, but it does mean that prototypes are an essential step that can\u2019t be skipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different Prototypes Have Different Purposes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This might be surprising, but there are four different types of prototypes that each serve a distinct purpose. It\u2019s important to use each and every type of prototype in order to create an effective and easy-to-use medical device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four different types of prototypes are Proof of Concept, Form Study, Visual, and Functional Prototypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
