Ranging from small surgical tools to large-scale imaging devices, medical devices form a cornerstone of modern healthcare. Obtaining patent protection for these devices can help bolster your position in a crowded market as well as protect your innovations.

Our medical device specialists have a broad range of technical backgrounds, including biotechnology and chemistry, but also electronics, physics, material science, and computer science. The team has experience in prosthetics; dental, ophthalmic and orthopaedic materials; tissue culture systems and tissue scaffold materials; slow-release bioabsorbable materials; diagnostic instruments; surgical instruments; and catheters and stents. We also have deep expertise in a wide range of imaging such as MRI technologies and methodologies.

Innovations in medical devices can arise from almost all aspects, such as improvements in the physical device or in the way the data is collected and processed.
