The Heart of Biomedical Innovation

The Heart of
Biomedical Innovation

The R&D department at MDE Srl is the engine of our innovation.
We constantly work on the advanced medical technologies , process optimization,
and the engineering of proprietary solutions, often in collaboration with universities and research centers.
Our goal is to translate scientific innovation into ISO 13485 and MDR certified products.

Innovation is part of the DNA

Scientific research and materials engineering are the driving force behind MDE’s evolution. Il reparto R&D integra competenze di progettazione, compounding e validazione per sviluppare nuove generazioni di dispositivi medicali. Each project begins with a research question and translates into an industrially scalable, tested, and documented technology.

Research area

Development of Advanced Materials

Materials are the foundation of every medical device. Our R&D is focused on the study and engineering of device with unique characteristics in terms of biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and clinical functionality in accordance with customer request.

  • Custom Compounding: Development of polymer blends with additives (radiopacity) or specific mechanical characteristics.

  • Rheological Analysis: Study of the behavior of materials under stress to optimize extrusion and molding processes.

Our process

Process Engineering and Optimization

We work to integrate new technologies and materials into our ISO 13485 certified production processes.

  • Advanced Micro-Extrusion: Line optimization for ultra-tight tolerance tubing and complex multi-lumen sections.

  • Rapid prototyping

Co-Design and Partnership Projects

Our R&D operates in a co-design mode with clients and in a strategic partnership with the academic world. This integrated approach allows us to:

  • Reduce Time to Market: Accelerate the transition from prototype to series production.

  • Access to Know-How: Integrate university expertise on the latest scientific discoveries.

  • Testing and Validation: Use internal laboratories for complex tests (mechanical, functional) and quickly obtain validation data.
