Medical device design and manufacturing
Extensive experience generating novel ideas for product design and process development, then turning those ideas into reality. Medical device design from first concept to product manufacturing.
Automation and robotics
Automate an existing process, develop a new product, or process, with automation in mind.
Injection molding design
Education
Components which are going to be injection molded, or thermo-formed, need different geometry than machined components. Molding requires up front investment, but can reduce cost and increase quality when done right.
Engineering education for high school and college level students, base on recent industry experience.
Medical Devices
Below are some examples of previous medical devices that Eron has designed.
Steerable Osseoflex tools for accessing vertebral bodies and delivering bone cement, currently marketed by Merit Medical Systems.
Trans-catheter Aortic Heart Valve and Delivery System
CAD model of the inflatable heart valve shown with delivery system image above. This model was used for FEA analysis of the heart valve frame.
Insertion tool for positioning an artificial retina into the back of the eye, developed for OptoBionics
Automation
Below are some examples of previous automation projects that Eron has designed, built and installed.
This automated line weighs bottles before and after filling, then sorts the filled bottles by whether the powder fill weight is within specification.
Lamination line for producing blood test strips. This system laminates 3 layers, with preceision placement of blood channels and electrodes.
Prototype E-beam sterile interconnect and cap machine for sterile transfer of fluids.
CAD layout for first Resynergi Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis Module concept
Injection Molding
Below are some examples of injection molded devices that Eron has designed.
Complex assemblies, overmolding and combining several functions into a single component.
Offset Tool for properly loading 4 sizes of heart valves into a delivery catheter. Prototype was 4 separate components assembled into a fixture for one size of implant. This tool is a single molded part with reduced tolerance stack-up and works with all sizes of implant.
Trans-catheter Aortic Heart Valve Delivery System Handle
Overmolded introducer handles designed to minimize shadowing in fluoroscopy images, used for interventional spine procedures.
