Establish product feasibility
At the feasibility stage, we create working engineering-level prototypes and obtain initial evidence supporting design feasibility. If approved, we freeze the design.
High-level outputs
Proof of concept, from idea to prototype
At the proof of concept stage, we work with you to transform your idea, thought, or sketch into a design with a working and functioning prototype that mimics the intended product.

Proactive design for manufacturing (DFM)
We eliminate the known pain points that can occur at every phase of product development. It’s critically important to ensure that your design will be able to be manufactured as intended. At both the concept and feasibility phases, the design goes through a development and prototype process to ensure the product is manufacturable as intended.
Our proactive DFM has these benefits:
Phase-gate approach
We have developed and refined our product design approach over the past 25+ years of working with our customers. Our phase-gate approach divides the product design process into five phases:
Component development example: Steerable handles for endoscopes
In this example, we partner with a medical device OEM to design and develop molding for parts in steerable handles for endoscopes.

Launch your component into production
At this stage, we launch the component into production, and Biomerics continues to assist you with post-launch quality assurance.

Obtain clinical validation
At the clinical validation stage, we establish that the device specifications conform to user needs and intended uses. We also conduct production readiness builds and finalize the risk management plan and production process documents.
