Modern medical device products typically contain a wide range of components and materials, from high-precision metal components to intricate plastic components to sensors and other electronic technologies. If you are a medical device company or brand owner, working with a partner that has finished medical device development and manufacturing capabilities brings a range of benefits.
In other words, a medical device design and development company with expertise across the full product lifecycle as well as manufacturing capabilities that cover all materials, technologies, and stages of production.
We have finished medical device development and manufacturing capabilities at Arrotek, with our Centre of Excellence in Metals Manufacturing in Boston, USA, our specialist plastics manufacturing and product design headquarters in Sligo Ireland, and our mass production facility in Costa Rica.
Benefits of a Finished Medical Device Specialist
Focus on Your Customers and Brand
One of the main benefits of working with a finished medical device specialist is that you will have more time to focus on your areas of expertise and the tasks that are most important to your business. This includes serving your customers and growing your brand.
Product Lifecycle Expertise
A finished medical device specialist will have expertise from concept development through to design and regulatory approval. They will also have expertise across all critical manufacturing stages (download our whitepaper on the Three Essential Phases of Medical Device Manufacturing Success).
Manufacturing Expertise
A finished product specialist will bring DFM, design transfer, and continuous improvement expertise, as well as expertise working with various materials, including common metals and plastics used in medical device products as well as specialist materials. A finished device specialist will also have a broad range of manufacturing capabilities.
Save Time
Managing different partners and suppliers is incredibly complex and time-consuming. By working with a single CDMO (contract design and manufacturing organisation), you can re-focus your resources on more value-adding tasks.
Regulatory Expertise
Compliance consistency can be a challenge when you work with multiple partners and suppliers. A specialist medical device CDMO will bring advanced regulatory expertise to the development and manufacture of your product, ensuring compliance consistency.
Reduced Risks
Partnering with a finished medical device specialist will reduce risks in a number of areas, including product quality, compliance, delivery timescales, and supply chain reliability.
Consistent Quality
Following on from the above point, you will also benefit from enhanced quality consistency as one manufacturing partner will be responsible for all aspects of production. This means the entire production process must adhere to the same quality standards.
Reduced Costs
The time you will save working with a finished medical device specialist, as well as the value-added services that will be available, will lower your costs across the full product lifecycle.
Scope for Innovation
A finished medical device specialist will have in-depth knowledge of your product. You can use this knowledge as you develop and improve your product and other innovations.
Finished Medical Device Development and Manufacturing at Arrotek
At Arrotek, we offer all the benefits described in the section above as we have structured our business to offer medical device companies and brand owners finished product development and manufacturing solutions.
There is an additional feature of our offering that make us stand out from the competition: scalability.
Scalability
Medical device CDMOs typically fall into two categories. The first is high-volume CDMOs who are reluctant to allocate time or resources to start-ups and smaller companies. The second category includes CDMOs that handle smaller manufacturing runs but lack the capacity to scale with your business beyond a certain (often quite low) ceiling.
At Arrotek, we have capabilities and capacity for both low and high-volume production requirements. Our innovation-focused Irish and US manufacturing facilities can produce up to 10,000 units a year, plus we have a high-volume manufacturing facility in Costa Rica capable of handling almost any requirement.
