Highlights

• Find and re-use critical materials application knowledge, including from previously approved (i.e., 'predicate') devices – reduce time, cost, and risk in design and certification

• Drive innovation – implement a systematic approach to analyze, screen, and select materials for new device designs

• Guarantee traceability of data for regulatory audits and to support quality process improvements

• Increase productivity – prevent duplication or data loss from testing; deploy corporate materials knowledge enterprise-wide so that all design teams can benefit

Introduction

Materials are of central importance to new product development in the medical device industry. But only a small minority of medical device designers are material specialists. So how do organizations find and apply the materials knowledge that can help them to optimize product design?

Designers need the right data to inform decisions on selection, substitution, qualification, regulation, and bio-compatibility, as well as for design calculations. Granta helps you to get this data and to use it effectively — whether it comes from from external references tailored to medical applications or is generated within your organization. Even better, we help you to manage and access knowledge on previous materials applications, reducing time, resources, and risk in the design and certification processes.

Our medical device reference data includes unrivalled and comprehensive sources of materials information for device designsers. Our GRANTA MI system helps you to manage and apply both this external information and your own data. Our CES Selector technology helps you to select materials during product design.
