At Biomerics, we specialize in and focus on six distinct segments of the medical device and healthcare industries. Our offerings and solutions in the cardiovascular, structural heart, cardiac rhythm management/electrophysiology, neurovascular, vascular access, and pain management markets are unrivaled.

For our final market-highlight blog, we’ve chosen to talk about our capabilities and expertise within the pain management market.

The coating of catheters and other devices has become an exciting area of experimentation within the medical field. Device developers, manufacturers, and OEMs are beginning to utilize coating technologies in an effort to make better, safer products. This week, we’ll be talking about why medical devices are coated, how they are coated, the challenges facing device manufacturers, and the solutions Biomerics has to offer.

SALT LAKE CITY, March 17, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Biosonix, an innovative ultrasonic solutions provider for the medical fluid sensing, medical fluid delivery, surgical device, and therapeutic treatment device markets announced the completion of its plant expansion.

In the medical field, extrusion is rapidly becoming more and more popular. Unfortunately, with the advances in medical device technologies, products and extrusion requirements are also becoming increasingly complex and demanding. Device developers and OEMs are continually searching for sourcing partners who can efficiently and cost effectively deliver elaborate extrusions that meet the exact specifications of unique medical products.

Injection molding is used extensively throughout the medical device industry. In the continued search for compliant, cost effective production methods, more and more companies are switching to fabrication techniques that offer economies of scale, such as injection molding, for both high and low volume production.

Assembly is an integral part of the device manufacturing process; yet when companies design and develop their devices, assembly is rarely considered. Design for manufacturability and assembly (DFMA) is what sets premier contract manufacturers apart from the traditional medical device “job shops”. For our blog post this week, we met up with members of our engineering and assembly teams to talk about the importance DFMA in product realization and the finished device assembly solutions Biomerics offers.

With the recent introduction of Biomerics Advanced Catheter, a merger between Biomerics and Access Point Technology (located in Rogers, MN), we’ve received numerous inquiries regarding “advanced catheters,” what they are, and how they work. Although the idea of “advanced catheters” isn’t novel, it is only within the past 15-20 years that “advanced catheters” have truly started to grow in popularity. So, this week we asked our team at Biomerics Advanced Catheter to give us a rundown on what “advanced catheters” are and on the solutions Biomerics offers in this innovative field.

A quality management system (QMS) is vital to the success of any manufacturer. In the medical field, a strong QMS is essential to the realization of any device. An unsupported, improperly designed QMS can result in higher production costs, regulatory problems, and—most important—low quality products. The lack of a high functioning QMS could spell doom for medical device companies and their contract manufacturers/suppliers.

As Biomerics continues to grow and reach new markets, countries, and customers, we are often asked about the many capabilities and solutions that we have to offer to the medical device industry. For this reason, we’ve decided to take a moment to talk about who we are, what we do, and how we can be your medical device strategic sourcing partner.

At Biomerics, our medical contract manufacturing roots can be traced to the field of injection molding. For over 20 years, we’ve provided injection molding solutions to the medical industry’s leading companies, and in this time we’ve received a wide range of questions and inquiries regarding injection molding and tooling. In an effort to better support and assist our customers (current and prospective) who are in need of injection molding services, we asked our engineering team to provide us with answers to the most common injection molding questions we receive.
