Medical Device Development
Bring safe, usable Class I and Class II medical devices to market with a development partner that pairs user-centered design with disciplined engineering and documentation. We develop handheld and wearable devices, diagnostic and point-of-care equipment, clinical and laboratory equipment, and home healthcare products. Medical products succeed when they solve a real clinical problem in a way users can adopt. Our work starts with the use environment, the clinicians, caregivers, and patients in it, and the workflows your device has to fit into. Human factors thinking runs through every iteration, from early mockups to formative evaluations, so usability findings shape the design instead of arriving as surprises late in the program. Our engineers integrate mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems with an eye on reliability, cleanability, and manufacturability. We work within your quality system to produce the requirements, risk analysis inputs, drawings, and test documentation your regulatory pathway depends on, keeping the design history file in step with the design. When the design is ready, we prepare specifications and supplier documentation and support transfer to regulated manufacturing, so your device moves from prototype to production with fewer surprises.

Medical devices have to be safe, usable, and well documented.
Our team pairs human-centered design with disciplined engineering to bring Class I and Class II devices to market.
Medical device concept development
Medical products succeed when they solve a real clinical problem in a way users can adopt. Early concept work focuses on the use environment, the people in it, and the workflows your device has to fit into.
We help you frame user needs, explore multiple concept directions, and test assumptions with quick prototypes before committing to detailed engineering. That reduces late-stage redesign and keeps your program on schedule.


Human-centered medical device design
Form, ergonomics, labeling, and interaction design all play a role in safe use. We design devices that communicate clearly, feel right in the hand, and stand up to cleaning and daily handling.

What our clients are saying.

"These guys get it. They are a rare blend of creative and technical talent. Honest, flexible, fun to work with and incredibly competent. As a designer, they make me look good, bringing my ideas to life through their insight and experience."

"I have worked with the team at SGW on a handful of projects, and I continue to be impressed with the depth and breadth of talent and capabilities they bring to the table. SGW is easy to work with, competent, and they operate with integrity. They make you want to do more business with them. Highly recommend!"

"The team at SGW Designworks was able to identify and test multiple solutions to a complex development challenge in a short period of time, then carry those findings over to a full development effort. This had a real impact on the speed of our development project."
