Medical Device Expert in Cardiac Device Design

A medical device expert was needed for a patent infringement action concerning a cardiac medical device for heart occlusion repair. A heart occlusion is essentially a hole in the wall of the heart. The implantable medical device allowed a surgeon to insert the device into the heart via a catheter and repair the problem without open heart surgery.

For this case a medical device expert in mechanical engineering was sought who possessed extensive medical device design experience, particularly in the field of intracardiac or vascular defects. The expert was expected to be knowledgeable of mechanical engineering issues specific to cardiovascular surgical techniques and implantable medical devices.
