 Good book Mar 15, 2007
By S. Shah
Since I work in academic reseach, I purchased this book to have basic understanding of medical device industry R&D. And I am pleased to say that the book is a concise guide to the complexity of research development and quality affairs.

Excellent Apr 04, 2006
By Designer
Well written and presented. It is a huge asset to any medical designer, or someone in the medical field.
 Very Dissapointed Jan 18, 2012
By Imaginary_num6er
When I bought this book, I expected it to be used as a reference for catheter laminations and catheter material selection. Although, the book does describe one example of a laminated catheter product, its methods are so primitive that I wouldn't be surprised if the technology is outdated by 10 years. There is no mentioning of braid/coil reinforcement or any concerns with catheter kink-resistance, torquabilty, and flow-rates. I was sort of hoping that they would at least cover the difference between a flat-wire braid and a round-wire braid in terms of kink-resistance and torque.
Overall, this book is recommended for those who're just starting in the in the medical device industry. The technologies introduced here are very basic, but you should never expect these methods to be used to create a product that's competitive in today's marketplace. I guess, a lot of the key technologies are kept as trade-secrets as those "in the know."

This book is way more than I had expected. It was required for a class but once I started reading it amazed me. Very strait forward and down to earth

Indispensible information for anyone working in a device start-up or entering a medical device design career Aug 25, 2011
By Christopher Durst, PhD
This book is a fantastic resource for anyone working in R&D at a device start-up, particularly those who are beginning their careers. I wish I had it when my company began prototyping. The text contains a wealth of knowledge that would take years to assimilate on the job and it is well illustrated (although when provided, photos are black and white only) to elucidate concepts that are difficult to explain with words alone. One of the most useful aspects of the book is the practical examples for how to construct prototype and proof of concept devices. The author provides example fabrication and assembly options that consider development stage (proof of concept/demonstrator, prototype, small production run) which are quite helpful for companies exploring areas beyond their traditional niche.
You can be assured that this book will pay for itself many times over.
