Full-Cycle Biomedical Engineering

MDE’s Design & Device Manufacturing division is the connection point between research, technology, and production. Every device is developed through an integrated process that ensures reliability, safety, and regulatory compliance. From concept definition to the finished product, every phase is supervised by a multidisciplinary team of engineers, technicians, and quality specialists. The result: customized medical devices that are traceable and fully compliant with UNI EN ISO 13485:2016 and MDR 2017/745 standards.

A Structured and Certified Process

Every project follows a precise operational flow, developed to reduce time and risks of non-compliance. The main phases:

  • Technical and feasibility analysis – requirement gathering, material study, specification definition.
  • CAD design and 3D modeling – digital development of the device with FEM and CFD simulations.
  • Rapid prototyping and functional testing – creation of samples through biomedical 3D printing and micro-extrusion.
  • Pilot production in cleanroom – ISO 7–8 validated processes for balloons, tubes, and components.
  • Technical and documented validation – preparation of the technical file and quality control report.

This method ensures optimized timelines, controlled costs, and regulatory compliance in every phase.

Co-design: Design as Collaboration

MDE adopts a co-design approach that actively involves the client in the development process. Technical specifications are analyzed together, digitally simulated, and optimized to ensure maximum clinical and production yield.

“We design devices that arise from constant technical dialogue, where every detail is verified, measured, and improved.” — MDE Design Team

This direct collaboration allows for the development of customized solutions, reducing industrialization times and maximizing safety.

Research Laboratories and Technologies

The MDE R&D laboratory is equipped with the latest generation of instruments for testing, analysis, and prototyping. Main equipment:

  • Twin-screw compounding system for custom polymer development
  • Pilot lines for micro-extrusion and experimental molding
  • High-resolution biomedical 3D printers
  • Rheological and thermal systems for material analysis
  • In-house EtO sterilizer (for internal process validation use)

All tests are performed in controlled ISO 7 and ISO 8 environments, with digital recording of parameters.

From Design to Production

Once the design is validated, MDE proceeds with series production within its ISO 7–8 certified cleanrooms, where every process parameter is digitally monitored. The direct connection between design and production allows for perfect continuity between the CAD model and the physical result, minimizing dimensional variations. All devices undergo metrological checks and mechanical testing before delivery, with complete lot traceability and an updated Device History Record (DHR).

Compliance and Technical Documentation

Every MDE project is accompanied by complete documentation, verified according to international standards. Documents provided:

  • Technical file and material data sheets
  • Validation Plan (IQ/OQ/PQ)
  • Risk analysis according to ISO 14971
  • Dimensional reports and performance tests
  • Certifications and lot traceability

This approach allows clients to obtain MDR-ready devices, with reduced time and maximum reliability.

In summary

Biomedical design at MDE is a scientific, precise, and measurable process. Every device is born from an idea and becomes reality thanks to a structured method, advanced digital tools, and an integrated vision of quality and innovation.
