Medical Device Outsourcing

Choosing to outsource your medical device production means trusting a partner with the safety of your product and the reputation of your company. At Pro-Tech Design, we’ve earned that trust for over 45 years. In fact, our very first customer is still a customer today! We offer full outsourcing solutions, from packaging and assembly to on-site lab testing, across our ISO 13485 certified, FDA registered facilities. We also manage sterilization through our trusted network of certified partners, so your device is covered end to end.

Why Outsource Medical Device Production?

Producing a medical device requires more than good engineering. It takes a validated production environment, regulatory expertise, and capital most companies would rather invest elsewhere. Outsourcing with a qualified contract manufacturing organization lets you tap into that infrastructure and experience without the upfront cost, so your team can stay focused on designing a better device while an experienced partner handles the rest.

The Pro-Tech Difference

Full-Service Capabilities

Outsourcing works best when you’re not stitching together multiple vendors. We handle it all under one roof, from component procurement and cleanroom assembly to packaging, labeling, and warehousing. Sterilization is managed through our trusted partner network. One point of contact, one quality system, and one team accountable for your device from start to finish.

What are the benefits of medical device outsourcing?
  • Production Expertise – one of the key benefits of outsourcing production to a medical contract manufacturer is that they have expertise in producing many different medical devices. As a result, they understand the production pitfalls that can come into play and how to avoid them. They also know how to maximize efficiencies to assemble and package the device more cost-effectively than a medical device company that is setting up a single production line for the first time.
  • Lower Investment & Speed to Market – by outsourcing production to an outsourcing medical device manufacturing who already has the production lines and cleanroom environment set up, there is a much lower startup investment. It takes significant time and resources to build a new production environment with an assembly line, equipment, and trained personnel. An experienced contract manufacturer is already production-ready with regulatory approval.
  • Regulatory Understanding – FDA registration is another significant benefit of outsourcing medical device production. The regulations are very complex and easy to run afoul of if you are not experienced in medical device packaging and assembly.FDA regulations require a deep knowledge of the production and validation requirements and a rigorous quality management process. A good contract manufacturer should know how to navigate regulatory requirements and can be a big asset in helping newer medical device companies successfully bring their product to market. Knowledge of the regulatory requirements can also save significant time in launching a new product.
  • Only Pay for What you Use – with medical device outsourcing, you only pay for the time and resources being used when your product is being produced. Idle production lines are not your responsibility and you can build your cost models based on someone else absorbing the risk of full utilization. Many customers realize this only after they have invested a significant amount of money into capital-intensive cleanrooms and machinery, only to realize that their projected volumes are not what they initially envisioned. At Pro-Tech Design we absorb the capital investment risk so you don’t have to.

No, we do not do any molding, machining or manufacturing of the components themselves. Instead, we focus on cleaning and assembling medical device components into finished products.

Once the devices are assembled, then we package them into primary and secondary packaging, print and apply labels, and manage sterilization. We can perform all of these services or whatever individual steps our customers require.

This is very typical for a contract manufacturing company.

Yes, we can handle the full procurement process and management of all components for our customers through their defined vendors or through vendors we already work with.

This includes setting up supply agreements where we keep an inventory stock of components for future builds for our customers.

Over the years, we have heard from customers that this is dramatically easier for them to coordinate component procurement with one partner rather than manage separate, individual vendors.

We offer a full range of contract packaging services, including:

  • packaging consultation
  • design
  • component ordering and inventory management
  • cleanroom assembly
  • sterilization management
  • label design and printing
  • warehousing and shipping.

Our ultimate service is to provide protective packaging so that your medical device is safely delivered to the end user.

There are many key considerations when selecting an outsourcing partner. Here are some of the most important factors to consider:

1. Cost: Obviously, cost is a major consideration when selecting an outsourcing partner. You’ll want to get quotes from a few different companies and compare pricing.

2. Services Offered: Make sure that the company you’re considering outsourcing to offers the services you need.

3. Commitment to Service: Make sure that the partner you choose has a strong commitment to servicing its customers and has a history of developing long-term relationships.
