Medical Optics Design

Tailored Optical Engineering for Medical Diagnostics, Imaging & Therapeutics

Optical systems are at the heart of every modern diagnostic and therapeutic innovation. Yighen designs high-performance optics for biomedical research, laboratory instruments, diagnostic applications (such as endoscopy, optical coherence tomography, fluorescence imagers), and surgical or therapeutic systems.

We partner with device manufacturers, research labs, and clinical engineering teams to custom-design and deliver medical optics that meet your technical, regulatory, and cost requirements—fast, reliably, and precisely.

🚀 Why Partner with Yighen?

• ISO 13485 Compliant Engineering & Manufacturing — Ensuring quality systems for medical-device-grade optics.

• Rapid Turnaround & Industry Speed — Prototype feedback within 24 hours; full custom optics delivered up to 20% faster than industry standard.

• Cost-Sensitive Design — From design-through-production, optimized for maximum performance at minimal cost.

🧩 Common Challenges We Solve

Designing optics for medical devices involves unique requirements:

• High precision lens assemblies with micron-level tolerance

• Consistency under variable clinical environments (sterilization, temperature, shock)

• Tight turnaround for diagnostic or clinical product launches

• Regulatory compliance and traceability

• Minimizing cost without compromising optical performance

Yighen handles these complex challenges through integrated optical, mechanical, and production workflows—ensuring consistent results in time-sensitive environments.
