The Top 5 Design Tips for Medical Products
As we all know, devices used in medicine and healthcare must meet the highest standards of performance and reliability. This is as it should be,
The medical industry relies on customized product solutions made to the highest standards. When safeguarding human health is the priority, there can be no compromises in the quality of materials or workmanship for medical manufacturing. In addition, the entire supply chain must demonstrate complete transparency and traceability to ensure no contamination of the finished product. That’s one reason why world-class suppliers of medical manufacturing services like Star Rapid are certified to the ISO 13485 standard.

Medical devices fall into several categories, depending on the degree of risk they pose to human health. Devices that can be used inside the body pose the highest risk factor, and therefore, are controlled by the tightest regulations. These include arterial stents, heart valves, surgical instruments, artificial joints, bone grafts, and prosthetics. At medium risk are products that have temporary contact with the skin. These include heart monitors, tongue depressors, IV drips, fitness trackers, and other diagnostic equipment. At the lowest risk is support equipment such as clamps, pill dispensers, trays, clinical furniture, and laboratory testing apparatus.
Ensuring the reliability of the supply chain is critical in the medical industry. That’s why we use advanced metrology equipment to verify all incoming raw materials and will provide you with chemical analysis and full certificates of compliance for your peace of mind. To support the needs of the medical industry, we offer a range of materials including titanium, stainless steel, TPE, POM, PEEK, ABS, nylon, silicone rubber, and more.
