Product Development

Success in the global marketplace is dependent upon medical implant manufacturers being increasingly more innovative in improving the performance of devices utilizing technology to rapidly get product at the right price to healthcare purchasers. The design and development of orthopaedic implants demands multi-disciplinary personnel, but maintaining a comprehensive in-house technical base can be prohibitively expensive.

Theken Orthopaedic uses several advanced three-dimensional (3D) computer modeling techniques when developing medical products. These 3D modeling techniques that include Finite Element Analysis (FEA) allows us to analyze the stress-strain distribution of a simple component or comples assembly before the first prototype is ever built. This assures you, the customer, that the product is reliable within the specified boundaries. Utilizing this technology significantly reduced the amount of prototypes required for final approval. This accelerates the product-to-market cycle, and reduces the product price to the end user.
