The problem
An early stage medical device manufacturer was preparing for FDA approval and first production lot when they began to investigate suppliers that could help them scale and reduce costs by improving their design for manufacturing (DFM).
Our solution
Global Interconnect partnered with the customer’s engineering team to re-design their existing disposable cable into a reusable assembly. This new design allowed for innovative cost reductions and better scaled solutions and supplier operations. Not to mention, better ergonomics for the doctor.
The result
Our customer received FDA approval and moved forward with our proposed cable and connector assembly.
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.
