Design Paradigms
Modular Systems
combine independently designed subsystems or modules to form a functioning, unitary product.
Integrated Systems
are designed as a single structure with one set of product functions.
Existing Catheter Paradigm: Minimally invasive surgical catheters are only designed as integrated systems
