As medical devices shrink across electrophysiology, electrosurgery, cardiovascular, and endoscopic imaging, engineers face growing challenges in manufacturability, reliability, and scale. In this talk, ATL’s Vice President of Engineering shares how successful teams turn highly miniaturized concepts into production‑ready devices. Using real‑world examples—including high‑density mapping catheters, chip‑on‑tip imaging, and fine‑wire ribbonization—this session shows why design‑for‑manufacturability, testability, and regulatory thinking must start on day one. The takeaway: miniaturization succeeds only when innovation is structured to work reliably, repeatedly, and at scale.
