Medical Device Manufacturing & Assembly Services
From the initial concept to delivery of your finished products, DUKE Empirical partners with you every step of the way. Our engineering team can guide you through our design control process, or we can support your internal product development process.
Let DUKE Empirical’s vast experience accelerate your product launch for your application-specific technology. Our mission is to provide manufactured products and services that consistently meet or exceed all defined requirements.
Proven Processes for Medical Device Manufacturing
We use a wide range of validated production processes and equipment. Our dedicated catheter manufacturing assembly processes take place within ISO Class VIII certified controlled environment rooms. All medical manufacturing, assembly, and related services are performed in-house to ensure quality and consistency.
When requested, our process begins with an understanding of your requirements and intended use as they are known at the time. From there we will create multiple design options, develop functional sample prototypes, test and compile data reports, and confirm that design outputs meet all requirements.
Upon prototype design freeze, we will finalize the product specification, qualify and validate manufacturing processes for your custom medical products and components and certify conformance to dimensional and functional requirements. To help expedite the process, DUKE can also assist with the transfer of your existing medical product manufacturing to our state-of-the-art 28,000 square foot facility.
