In the rapidly advancing realm of medical technology, the vital design and development of medical devices yield safe, efficient, and inventive products. For medical manufacturers, this process is their cornerstone, profoundly affecting device quality, functionality, patient well-being, and future earnings. This blog delves into the pivotal stages of medical device design and development, emphasizing each step's significance.

Selecting the right contract manufacturer is a crucial decision that can be overwhelming. From expertise to location, this article outlines key factors to keep in mind.

“There’s only one medical device company that has contract manufacturing and in-house ETO Sterilization capabilities of this scale, and that’s Centerpiece.”

Expansion will allow Centerpiece’s Tijuana, Mexico, location to process 70,000 pallets annually using “world class” ethylene-oxide (EO) sterilization equipment with the latest emissions control technology.

“The additional processing capacity is projected to increase [Centerpiece’s] sterilization throughput by an estimated 50,000 pallets annually.”

“Centerpiece’s partnership with LESNI, a leader in air purification solutions and ethylene-oxide emissions controls. . . .provides a complete and safe solution for all ethylene-oxide process emissions.”

“[T]he world-class environmental standards of GEE Ethylene Oxide Sterilizers paved the way for an order on six sterilizers from the North American company Centerpiece, which is building a new production plant in Tijuana, Mexico.”

“The 140,000 ft2 plant is equipped with six Getinge low-temperature sterilizers and state-of-the-art emissions control equipment. . . Its sterilization chamber configuration also uses chamber-specific preconditioning and aeration cells, moving product throughout the process via auto-pallet transfer systems.”
