Multiphysics
The real world includes the interactions between physical phenomena, shouldn’t your simulations? From fluid flow to heat transfer, we have the experience needed to accurately model your engineering challenge.
Virtual Prototyping
Modeling the interaction between applied energy and biological tissue clarifies design and delivery unknowns when working toward a desired surgical effect. Instead of multiple rounds of tissue testing, optimization and insight through simulation narrows the vast array of possibilities quickly.
Regulatory
The FDA has recognized the value in simulation data, and in September 2016 issued written guidance regarding computational modeling study design, elevating it to the highest level of FDA strategic priority. The door is now wide open to work in partnership with the FDA to address safety and efficacy questions using simulation results. This significantly reduces physical testing requirements, sometimes as much as by 50%.
Device Effectiveness
Using simulation will enable you to gain insight and understanding into your device’s energy physics, resulting in increased patient safety and treatment effectiveness. Getting safer and more effective devices in the hands of clinicians means better outcomes for patients around the world.
Visualization
One powerful tool available through simulation and modeling is to clearly see hidden physical phenomena through images and video. Displaying the changes in hard to visualize characteristics like heat flow or electromagnetic fields illuminates complex scientific processes to non-technical audiences.
