Medical Device Contract Assembly

Medical device production involves skill in numerous assembly processes and methods of making medical equipment. Complex and unique medical gadgets are prepared using a multitude of procedures.

Companies functioning as medical device contract manufacturers also offer goods for plastic bonding. With the use of UV adhesive bonding, even low surface energy components are connected.

Medical device makers are capable of designing, constructing, producing and running test apparatus. The test apparatus and equipment ranges from tools and fixtures to semi-automated work cells.

Electro-mechanical assemblies, numerous Medical device assemblies offer testing including cabling, surface mount printed circuit board. Assistance with part and product design is also available.

Some medical contract manufacturers also have arrangements to produce machine prototypes, while some others can arrange stereo lithography from 2D and 3D data. These models are then employed in short run response injection molded components.

Medical device contract manufacturers have a range of assembly lines. Some of the assembly lines supplied are plastic part design, plastic injection molding, and plastic assembly comprising silicone components, catheter assembly.

Nitinol wire and thermal tip wire forming controlled siliconizing, silicon transfer molding, ultra-precision, precision and standard assembly usage devices created by medical device contract assemblies.

They are also utilized in cyanoacrylate bonding and solvent, precision and standard soldering, electro mechanic assembly, fiber optic processing, glass shaping, flow and leak testing, gold wire bonding, hermetic seam welding, electro-static bonding.

Ultra-sonic welding, thermal welding and staking, micro riveting, micro arc welding, short run vacuum forming, ultrasonic cleaning, electro-mechanical testing and automatic and semi-automatic software controlled testing, all are processes which use devices made through Medical device contract assembly.

Medical device contract assembly firms offer clean room and non-clean room assembly, testing and packaging services for class 1, class 2 and class 3 medical devices. Class I medical devices do not cause any harm to the user and are quite simple in design, compared to the other two devices. In class II devices there are particular controls to assure safety and efficacy in addition to the general control. Class III devices require pre-market approval to verify device safety and effectiveness.

Medical device contract manufacturers also provide sterile and non-sterile items. The assembly procedures and capabilities of Medical device contract assembly range from simple products like as tubing sets to ultra precise electro-mechanical devices. Most contract manufacturers deal with high volume disposable and low volume reusable device manufacturing. They also have a full service injection molding program such as injection mold design, manufacturing and clean room injection molding. The cost of machines for the injection molding process is significant. The design of the right mold is equally tough. Hence most clients look for contract manufacturers for the injection molding techniques.

Some medical equipment contract manufacturers offer ethylene oxide and radiation sterilization coordination. A wide range of process capabilities, devoting more care towards the quality, responsiveness and efficient operation are the major attributes of an excellent medical device contract maker.

Medical device contract manufacturers frequently work closely with the original equipment manufacturing companies. The contract manufacturing of medical equipment covers traditional, high quality contract manufacturing services. It also includes automation design and building capabilities.
