Medical devices

Our speciality

Simulations are an integral part of the development of medical devices. Optimizations can be simulated and carried out even before the test phase begins. This leads to a significant reduction in prototype tests and unavoidable animal testing.In medical technology, the trend is also towards “medical remanufacturing”. This means that one-way becomes reusable, the recycling of plastic medical products is unavoidable for reasons of environmental sustainability and scarcity of resources, requiring targeted product adaptation in terms of dismantlability, repairability and sterilisability. Here, too, the use of targeted simulations is useful.
Numerisches lokales Model eines Oxygenators

Oxygenators

The oxygenator is a part of the heart-lung-machine and can replace the function of the lung for a short time. It enriches the blood with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide from blood. The gas exchange occurs across gas-permeable membranes due

Darstellung der berechneten Stromlinien in einem Dialysatormodell

Dialyser

With the methods of numerical flow simulation, the global and local flow conditions and mass transport processes in a dialyzer can be analysed and based on this the clearance properties can be characterised and optimised. The results of the simulation

Notfall_Anaesthesiegeraet_Verdampfung_

Anesthesia Technology

Numerical flow models can be used to analyze the complex processes involved in vaporization in an emergency anesthesia machine, taking into account the transfer of heat of vaporization and heat conduction in the walls. The pressure rise in the closed

Spannungen an einem Hohlschrauben-Dental-Implantat

Dental implants

With a length of 8-14 mm and a diameter of 3-5 mm, dental implants must withstand masticatory forces of up to 500 N for decades. Our advanced simulation tools can be used to perform analyses of static strength, implant durability,
