I am developing a multi-use temporary, subcutaneous fluid port that lets veterinarians and pet parents deliver maintenance or emergency hydration to dogs and cats. The goal is a low-profile device that sits just under the skin, causes as little irritation as possible, and can be painlessly removed once the patient is stable. Comfort for the pet guides every design decision. The housing must be molded from proven, medical-grade plastic; I will need your help selecting a resin that is both biocompatible and cost-effective for short-term use. Edges have to stay perfectly smooth, the footprint must remain small enough for toy breeds yet robust enough for large dogs, and the port should accept a standard luer-lock or similar connector that seals automatically between infusions. What I need from you • 3D CAD files ready for rapid prototyping and eventual injection molding • A concise material and manufacturing brief (resin choice, draft angles, gate placement, anticipated cycle time) • Basic FEA or equivalent stress analysis showing the port will not crack under normal handling or bite force if chewed after removal • Recommendations for insertion technique and any disposable introducer that would simplify placement in a clinic setting If you have experience with veterinary or human implantables, ISO 10993 testing, or small-run clean-room manufacturing, please highlight it—those skills will move us forward faster.

Hi,Are you looking for a design engineer to translate your subcutaneous veterinary fluid port concept into a manufacturable, biocompatible, and injection-molding-ready medical device?I am a Mechanical & CAD Design Engineer with 5+ years of experience in precision product design, including small-scale enclosures, fluid interfaces, and high-reliability mechanical systems. I specialize in designing parts for manufacturability (DFM), ensuring smooth tissue-contact geometry, proper draft angles, and robust sealing interfaces suitable for Luer-lock or equivalent connectors. For your project, I will develop a full 3D CAD assembly ready for prototyping and injection molding, along with a structured material selection brief focused on medical-grade, ISO 10993-compatible polymers balancing cost and biocompatibility. I will also provide a simplified stress validation (FEA-based) to ensure structural integrity under handling and accidental external loading. Additionally, I can suggest practical insertion tooling concepts for clinical usability and safe placement. Deliverables: • Editable STEP assembly (injection-ready design) • Production-ready STL for rapid prototyping • Material & manufacturing brief (resin, draft, gate, cycle considerations) • Basic FEA stress validation report • Clinical insertion & tooling recommendations I’d be glad to refine the design with you and move toward a production-ready medical prototype.

Hi there, I noticed you need a multi use temporary subcutaneous fluid port for dogs and cats, with a low profile, minimal irritation, painless removal, and compatibility with standard luer lock connectors, plus 3D CAD files for prototyping and injection molding, a material and manufacturing brief, basic FEA stress analysis, and recommendations for insertion technique. I have extensive experience designing medical devices for veterinary applications, including a recent project where I developed a subcutaneous access port for fluid delivery in large animals, using medical grade polycarbonate, performing FEA to ensure no cracking under bite forces, and providing moldability analysis with draft angles and gate placement. I am familiar with ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing and clean room manufacturing. Let me know the target size range for toy versus large breeds and any specific connector standards.
