Startups face unique challenges in the complex and rapidly-evolving MedTech sector. The convergence of cutting-edge technology, regulatory compliance, and patient-centric design demands a manufacturing approach that is equally adaptable and efficient. That’s where high-mix manufacturing comes into play, providing scalable custom medical device solutions that pave the way for startup success.
The Expert Partner Startups Need to Launch
Startups bring a fresh perspective to the MedTech sector, introducing new ideas and leading-edge technology to healthcare industry solutions. However, these organizations typically operate with limited resources and tighter budgets, making it critical to invest in the right manufacturing partner. Ranfac has decades of experience not only helping startups manufacture their devices, but also providing the seasoned product expertise that smaller companies need to perfect and launch their designs.
Ranfac helps startups maximize their investment in four key ways:
- Customize product design. Every Ranfac partnership begins with a design collaboration. During this discussion, our design team pieces together customer ideas to craft a production-ready design history file. Ranfac’s unmatched medical device expertise helps bring startup product visions to life, leveraging decades of technical know-how and single source manufacturing capabilities.
- Keep production under one roof. Ranfac stands apart as one of the only medical device manufacturers offering single source production. With engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain all operating under one roof, we eliminate the delays and extra costs that result from fragmented workflows. Likewise, each project leader can easily track production, ensure proper documentation, and guarantee compliance with regulatory requirements. Our expertise in multi-cavity tools, implementing automation, and the ability to maintain one-piece flow optimize our manufacturing output and get devices to market even faster.
- Streamline regulatory filing. From start-up contract manufacturing to OEM medical device production, filing for regulatory clearances without expert help can be a challenge. Ranfac’s single source process alleviates this burden from startups by recording, storing, and submitting all necessary documentation during every step in the manufacturing process. Our quality and regulatory teams stay current on shifting requirements to ensure our devices obtain FDA approval and steer clear of compliance violations.
- Adapt and scale with ease. When we accept a new project, the intake process primarily focuses on lower level planning. Our team works diligently to build a solid foundation by performing initial setup tasks and quality inspections on a smaller scale, as well as manufacturing entry level quantities and putting safety stock aside for future surges in demand. Likewise, we work with customers to plan ahead for larger production volumes, allowing us to reduce piece costs and streamline manufacturing when it’s time to scale up production.
Planning, Experience & Scalability: Three Keys for Success
Ranfac understands the demands of putting a device on the market. That’s why our medical device manufacturing process was built to plan upfront, create efficiencies, and seamlessly adapt to evolving industry and customer demands. This scalable production approach is crucial for startups and small companies to get the most out of their manufacturing investment. Whether you’re looking to brainstorm device design or are ready to initiate production, Ranfac is here to meet your organization’s unique needs and help you launch industry-leading devices.
