Freudenberg Medical has launched a new Handle Design Center of Excellence (CoE) in Jeffersonville, Ind. The center expands the company’s industrial design and human factors engineering.
The company centralized design and development efforts in a single location to increase speed of iterations for prototypes and unify handle learnings.
The Handle Design CoE unifies in-house capabilities to design and iterate ergonomically focused handles and develop manufacturable functional mechanisms.
“Our industrial design and mechanical development team has over 50 years of combined product design experience, this team is focused on physician interaction, product functionality, and translating that to commercial manufacturability,” Mark Ostwald, CEO of Freudenberg Medical told the press. “Our extensive clinical knowledge combined with established suppliers, places Freudenberg Medical as the premier handle design partner.”
Freudenberg Medical’s catheter development includes advanced extrusion, catheter shaft, and balloon development, which can be integrated with the Handle Design CoE for full-service prototype and product development.
