Medical Device Manufacturing Process Development

The engineering consultants at Outer Reef Technologies utilize state-of-the-art technologies to test the products during manufacturing process development. Medical product development is a lengthy process that requires numerous inspections, testing, sterilization, etc. to ensure the product meets our specifications.

Medical device software development is also involved in the case of medical electronic devices, and our engineers make thorough checks for integration before giving it due to approvals. Our products are premium and innovative as well as compliant.

Optimized for Process Efficiency and Quality

Medical product development is a precise science and we recognize how important it is for each product to function without errors. At Outer Reef, we maintain strict quality standards and have optimized our manufacturing processes to ensure all of our divisions meet these standards.

Despite maintaining quality standards, we have created a dedicated system that helps us keep the manufacturing process development efficient. Our efficiency comes from prioritizing client experience and our commitment to continuous improvement.

Therefore, you will get premium products within record timelines.

Manufacturing Process Selection

Outer Reef’s manufacturing selection process was designed keeping quality control and efficiency in mind. To meet our goals, we have carefully designed a precision-oriented and innovative selection process.

We utilize our engineering design expertise to shortlist technologically advanced manufacturing machinery. Ranging from molds to assembly, each part of the process receives due care.

We also have created extensive SOPs around testing to ensure every aspect is duly tested individually as well as an assembled product.

Specific Manufacturing Process Techniques

We rely on specialized manufacturing techniques to enhance the efficiency and quality of our manufacturing process development. Our techniques involve:

Mold-based manufacturing (customized and standard).
Material Identification for development or protection.
Assembly and Testing.

Each category has a set of dedicated techniques or material selection criteria that help us minimize design and manufacturing inefficiencies.

Any need for adjustments is duly addressed to ensure you get

Experienced Engineering Consultants

Outer Reef follows a two-tiered innovative approach to achieve medical product development excellence. Aside from having the most technologically advanced machinery and optimized techniques, we have incredibly talented engineering consultants.

Our consultants are the backbone of the operations. We hire some of the most creative and detail-oriented minds who are not only updated on the latest technologies but are also innovative in their design approach.

They use their expertise, problem-solving approach, and intricate familiarity with the manufacturing process to create state-of-the-art medical products.

Manufacturing Process Selection

Our engineering consultants perform strict manufacturing process selection that involves comprehensive techniques to obtain planned results. Here are some examples of our techniques to enhance our selection:

Injection molding:We use injection molding to create standard sizes of product components during process manufacturing to avoid discrepancies in calculations.
Thermoforming:Aside from injection molding, we employ thermoforming to maintain flexibility during the manufacturing process. It helps us customize our creations to design specification as per product need requirements.
Structural foam:To obtain precision, we use structural foam during medical product development to fill out all spaces fully. This helps strengthen base material and makes it impervious to certain degrees of pressures.
Composites:We use composites to maximize product efficacy. Using laminar, fiber-reinforced, particulate composites creates the ideal structure to complement medical device software development.
Machining:To perfect the shapes and customize components to match product design, our engineering consultants deploy machining. It creates precision and keeps the surfaces smooth.
Sheet metal:Using this malleable material gives us design flexibility and allows us to be more creative in our approach towards process manufacturing solutions. It is also durable and adds operational life to the product.
Ceramics:Ceramics provide us extensive leverage in our designs for pressure sensors, femoral head implants for hip replacement, and valves. They are FDA-approved and a modern approach to medical product development.
Coatings:Coatings play a crucial role in increasing the life of an artificial implant by making it more biocompatible with the body. We use it during our implant process manufacturing to improve their effectiveness and their ability to last for more years in a patient’s body.
Fastening techniques:The initial phases of product assembly require us to use fastening techniques. These are standardized and adjustable and allow us to reduce the assembly time drastically.
It is also precise and accurate, which ensures products are attached together with no chances of error. It improves their ability to function at a designed capacity.
Assembly:Once the first phase is complete, the entire product is assembled together with the necessary medical device software development. We use the results of software application development to finalize the product before testing it.
Test:In the final phase before packaging and delivery, we run the product a few times to ensure everything is working perfectly. We test out medical software solutions and their integration with the hardware to ensure there are no gaps in the product.
