At Ximedica, I redesigned our client's surgical robotic laparoscopic instrument prototype with multiple new inputs: blood ingress mitigation, manufacturability and assemble-ability, and cleanability and sterilization. Some of my contributions:

• Redesigned every part and entire assembly for plastic IM, MIM, machining and ease of assembly including custom material development and selection with external vendors.

• Created ‘worst case’ surgical soiling fixture and procedure and managed internal MEs to build and execute to validate blood ingress mitigation efforts

• Developed cleaning and sterilization protocols based on AAMI TIR guidance, oversaw execution and evaluation at external lab, redesigned housing and components to improve cleanability.

Please note that I am including limited photos and information here to adhere to NDAs with Ximedica and our client.​
