Crafting the ergonomics and the tactile feel for the interface of a medical device targeted for medical professionals is reaching a new level of expectation. As such, medical device manufacturers are customizing the brand of their product lines by the feel and sound of their product portfolio. Managing the consistency of those haptics takes experience, expertise and knowledge of the effects packaging has on tactile attributes.
