Wishbone, a global paediatric orthopaedic solution provider, faced critical challenges with their products. The company experienced in-service failures of their paediatric instruments and struggled to identify the root cause. Product testing revealed design flaws that needed immediate attention without adversely impacting the product's core functionality. The 11-month project focused on engineering design services for these specialized medical devices.
Sedin conducted a thorough assessment using CAE analysis to identify the fundamental causes behind Wishbone's failing paediatric instruments. Their main goal became re-engineering instrument designs to meet quality standards and fix in-service failures. The team planned to re-interpret designs, improve orthopedic surgical components with proper detailing, add part attributes for quick identification, and ensure compliance with medical device standards.
Instruments were failing during use with no clear indication of underlying root causes.
Testing revealed critical design flaws requiring fixes without compromising product functionality.
Products needed to meet strict quality and safety standards for medical devices.
Sedin's CAD experts used their decade of experience to redesign orthopedic surgical components while following medical device standards. Their work delivered several important improvements.
