Developing advanced medical devices and robotic systems demands engineering expertise across multiple physical disciplines, but applying that depth of expertise to product development timelines is rarely straightforward. Veryst Engineering was founded to meet that challenge and
help our clients develop extraordinary products, technologies, and processes.

In this presentation, we walk through case studies drawn from public work, including:

• physics-based performance prediction for dual-chamber autoinjectors, enabling faster iterations of design tools and feedback to drug developers
• simulation of needle coring in prefilled syringes to ensure device safety
• multiphysics modeling of smart-pill drug delivery devices to reduce design iterations and time-to-market
• wear predictions of xenograft heart valves using in silico testing to rapidly evaluate designs
• performance and V&V of polymer stents to ensure device safety and deliver regulatory approval
• design and analysis of soft robotic grippers to optimize performance and test design ideas

Our team consists of experts in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, polymer and materials engineering, heat transfer, and multiphysics simulation. We have an in-house mechanical testing laboratory purpose-built to generate the high-quality data that accurate models require.

Veryst partners with our clients to understand a design failure, evaluate a new technology or device, reduce costly physical testing through virtual prototyping, and optimize manufacturing processes to reduce cost and increase yield. Veryst's integrated simulation and testing capabilities offer a powerful and practical path forward for engineers and designers in medtech, combination products, and robotics.
