The Road to Success in Medical Device Manufacturing Series 2: Design Transfer

In the world of medical device innovation, great design is only the beginning. Ensuring that a device can be manufactured efficiently, safely, and at scale is where Design for Manufacturability (DFM) plays a critical role.
This article explores how introducing DFM early in the development process can reduce risk, streamline production, and ultimately speed up time to market. From material selection and regulatory compliance to simplified assembly and cost-efficiency, we break down the 8 key questions every product team should ask when designing a device built for real-world success.
Whether you’re launching a next-gen catheter or scaling a breakthrough technology, understanding DFM is essential to navigating the complex path from concept to commercialisation.
