An early stage medical device manufacturer had designed a device that uses RF to treat COPD. The thing is, it was an inordinately expensive design. We had the solution.

The problem
The customer was experiencing a sourcing and management nightmare with multiple suppliers. Source tubing from one, source cable from another, source connectors from a third. And that’s before they had to assemble it all in-house. The customer knew that there had to be a better way.
Our solution
Global Interconnect introduced a proprietary extrusion technique that eliminated the need for separate tubing, cable and solvent bond suppliers. In addition, Global Interconnect helped reduce high costs and long lead times for connectors, all while providing all necessary drawings, documentation and reporting.
The result
After achieving a 50% cost reduction, the assembly is currently in production through a single source.
Products Key to this Case Study
EXTRUSION
We manufacture assemblies that connect medical devices or industrial consoles to surgical handpieces or measurement devices when off the shelf configurations are not available. Reusable or disposable, these include custom electrical able, tubing, or a combination of both using thermoplastic and thermoset materials.
MOLDING
We’re experts at producing low cost vertical and horizontal injection molded thermoplastic and thermoset materials smaller than a shoebox.
MACHINING
We manufacture CNC machined custom components from plastic or metal rod stock.
ASSEMBLY
We manufacture medical and industrial electromechanical assemblies requiring labor intensive or automated assembly processes, testing, and documentation in a controlled, ISO certified facility.
CAPABILITIES
You won’t find what we offer in a catalog, but you will find it invaluable. Especially when you’ve got a problem in need of a solution.
