Medical Device Development

Ensuring proper planning throughout the medical device development process, from first-in-human to post-market surveillance.

Helping you optimize your medical device’s development pathway

Whether you’re conducting a 10-patient feasibility study or a 10,000-patient post-marketing surveillance study, we know all the steps — from scientific breakthrough to successful outcomes. Our experience spans just about every type of device, from transcatheter heart valves to dermatologic devices and everything in between.

Many members of our medical device team come from manufacturers, so they know which questions to ask: What endpoints will global regulatory bodies expect and approve? What indication provides the best return on investment? Which claims make sense? What about pricing, and ensuring that your device qualifies for separate reimbursement?

We understand the differences among categories of medical devices, and our regulatory team tracks the latest global policy shifts and regulatory requirements.

Guidance for combination products

These documents clarify best practices for communication during interaction with the agency. They provide a framework for identifying gaps in development programs that may result from the unique properties of the combination product.

WHITE PAPER

Best practices for device trials in Asia

Reviewing best practices for cardiovascular medical device development in Asian countries can offer insights on traversing the regulatory and clinical landscape of this region.

Clinical Development Expertise for Combination Studies

When you’re developing a combination product, therapeutic experience has no substitute. Unlike CROs who focus solely on device studies, we supplement our device expertise with extensive clinical development experience across therapeutic areas. See what we’ve been busy doing for the past five years.
