Our design services help you navigate the transition from novel concept to production-ready components through collaboration, simulation, and manufacturability considerations tailored to medical device development.

Collaborative design services to support the creation of novel, simulation-informed, and manufacturable devices

Designed Innovation

Our design services help you translate engineering insight into manufacturable, high-performance medical devices. Through purposeful design refinement and collaboration, we ensure innovative concepts evolve efficiently into production-ready components.

At G.RAU Inc., we help medical device developers navigate the complex path from concept through production, across a wide range of indications and device types. Innovative designs often face challenges in geometry, material selection, and manufacturability—especially when working with advanced biomedical alloys such as Nitinol. These materials offer exceptional performance potential but demand deep understanding to realize their benefits. With decades of combined experience and a history of supporting countless successful market-approved devices, our team delivers design solutions grounded in practical engineering, material insight, and real-world application.

In collaboration with Engage Medical Device Services, we combine advanced modeling, and design-for-manufacturing expertise to help clients develop and refine complex concepts into reliable, manufacturable products.

From Idea to Intent

We support early-stage development by working alongside client teams to explore design concepts, materials, geometries, and technical requirements. Engineering insight, simulation, and prototyping can help evaluate feasibility and inform the client's design direction.

These early builds support feasibility and serve as the foundation for further refinement and benchtop tests, such as radial force tests.

Shaping Performance Through Insight

We provide engineering analysis and technical feedback to help clients evaluate and refine their designs. Simulation, material characterization, and benchtop testing can provide insight into geometry, material behavior, interfaces, and other factors affecting device performance.

As the design begins to take shape, it is critical to consider other key strategic factors such as material selection and benchtop test pathways.

Precision in Production

We support the transition toward manufacturing by evaluating design features, tolerances, material behavior, and process considerations. Working with client and manufacturing teams, we help identify opportunities to improve manufacturability while maintaining the intended device performance.

Early fatigue feasibility evaluations are recommended at this stage to confirm mechanical behavior under representative conditions and to ensure the design performs as expected prior to final verification.

From Prototype to Product

We assist clients as designs progress toward production through testing and engineering review. We also provide support for prototyping, drawings, and documentation, while collaborating with manufacturing partners as needed. Our testing, computational analysis, and technical consulting capabilities provide additional insight as clients advance their designs toward verification, validation, and commercialization.

To help complete your regulatory submissions, we also provide a wide range of verification benchtop tests, FEA modeling, as well as a range of consulting services to align design, performance, and compliance.
