Services
Engineering, prototyping, tooling, overmolding, assembly, testing and production of custom medical cable assemblies and interconnect systems for diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical applications.
DFM consulting, mold/tool design and fabrication guidance, selection of tooling materials and support for single- or multi-cavity tooling decisions to optimize cost and lifecycle.
Development and execution of qualification protocols (IQ/OQ), capability analysis, calibration and Gage R&R, and continued process verification to support consistent manufacturing output.
Performance testing services including flex cycles, tensile/compression load tests, mate/un-mate cycles, chemical resistance, and dielectric/voltage testing to verify product specifications.
Guidance on selecting jacket and overmold materials with appropriate resistance to disinfectants and sterilization methods (autoclave, EtO, gamma, VHP) and on biocompatibility considerations; advice on extrusion and tubing jacketing methods to meet flexibility and service-life requirements.
Structured project intake and project review services to align technical, quality and commercial requirements and propose a development plan within an ISO-aligned environment.
