MSI performs advanced analysis for biomedical device manufacturers to reduce development time and cost.  Experience and the most modern multi-disciplinary analytical tools set MSI apart from the competition.  The cost to apply advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) early in the design process more than pays for itself by eliminating expensive and dated “trial and test” development methodology.   MSI has also used advanced analysis tools to troubleshoot and resolve problems associated with breakage, premature failure, and noise.

Applications include stents, orthopedic devices, and surgical instruments.
