Pacific Mechanical Devices Services
Medical
Design and prototyping of disposable surgical device for tissue removal and implant delivery. Design and prototyping of vacuum system and controls. Extensive work with medical grade materials and silicone elastomerics. Heavy use of rapid prototyping. Design/packaging and prototyping of miniature expendable mechanisms, micro fluid delivery systems and high volume disposable devices for medical applications. Mechanical design and packaging of miniature sensors for detecting specific elements in very small sample sizes. Extensive use of injection molded plastics. Use of stereo lithography and rubber mold castings for rapid prototyping of complex parts. Design and prototyping of stow able self-erecting stand used to x-ray patient’s feet while supporting full body weight.
