Computational ModelingMDI has the facilities and expertise to perform complex computational modeling and uses these results to guide medical device design. Incorporating the insight gained through device-focused analyses improves the design and deepens the "technical foundation" of a new idea. |

Structural Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a powerful computational tool for designing implants or surgical instruments. The FEA model shown here predicts the pullout resistance of a bone screw embedded in a vertebral body section. |

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling is invaluable when establishing the flow patterns within or around new devices. Shown here is a drug delivery catheter. CFD was used to maximize the drug delivery within a diseased artery and limit the wall shear stress, and thereby potential damage, to adjacent healthy tissue.
