The push for more compact, high-performance medical devices is transforming design and manufacturing strategies. This 60-minute webinar from the editors of Medical Design Briefs will explore the engineering and reliability challenges of creating ultra-compact systems — from minimally invasive surgical tools powered by precision micro motors to next-generation wearable sensors. Experts will examine advances in MEMS, microfluidics, and flexible electronics as well as strategies for integrating multiple functions into smaller footprints without compromising performance or patient safety. Attendees will gain insights into materials selection, micro motor integration, precision manufacturing, and testing approaches that ensure miniaturized devices meet rigorous clinical and regulatory requirements.
