Orthopedic medical device design
Concept generation, design, engineering, and consulting backed by more than 20 years in orthopedic product development, specializing in spine and sports medicine.
Experience where it matters
Forrest Samuel has spent more than two decades in orthopedic product development, specializing in spine and sports medicine.
That experience covers the full path from first concept to finished parts: generating new implant and instrument concepts, solving the core engineering problems, developing the design, and working with manufacturers through production, including setting up final dimensional, visual, and functional inspection with suppliers. Whether you need a creative engineering partner from day one or a consultant to review and advise, we can help at any stage.
