Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Velosity Support Quality and Regulatory Requirements for Medical Device Manufacturing?
Velosity operates quality systems that support the requirements of regulated medical device manufacturing. Our capabilities include ISO 13485:2016- and ISO 9001:2015-certified quality systems, cleanroom manufacturing, process controls, inspection and testing, and documented procedures that support consistent, traceable production. These systems are integrated with our engineering and manufacturing capabilities to support quality throughout the product lifecycle.
Can Velosity Support Medical Device Product Development and Prototyping?
Yes. Velosity’s product development, embedded engineering, and rapid prototyping services help medical device companies move from early concepts toward production. Our team supports design development, engineering, prototyping, and manufacturing readiness, and can transition development work into production through Velosity’s broader manufacturing capabilities. This allows customers to work with a single organization as their product moves from concept and prototype development to production.
What Does a Medical Device Contract Manufacturer Do?
A medical device contract manufacturer provides the engineering, prototyping, manufacturing, assembly, and packaging services an OEM may otherwise need to coordinate across multiple suppliers. Velosity brings these capabilities together under one roof, from early design input and prototyping through injection molding, precision machining, assembly, and final packaging. When engineering and manufacturing work together, potential design and production issues can be identified earlier, which reduces costly changes later in the process.
How Do I Choose the Right Medical Device Contract Manufacturing Partner?
Look for a manufacturer that can get involved early, before your design is finalized, and provide the engineering and manufacturing expertise needed throughout development and production. Key capabilities may include design for manufacturability, prototyping, tight-tolerance machining, injection molding, cleanroom manufacturing, assembly, and quality systems designed for regulated production. Working with a partner that coordinates these capabilities through a single team can reduce handoffs and simplify the path from development to production. See what sets Velosity apart.
Does Velosity Support Medical Device Development From Concept Through Production?
Yes. Velosity supports medical device and life sciences customers from early concept development through engineering, prototyping, manufacturing, assembly, and packaging. Early-stage development and prototyping take place at the Velosity Engineering, Launch & Optimization Lab™, where designs and processes are evaluated before moving to production equipment for qualification and validation. This integrated approach maintains continuity as programs progress from development into full-scale manufacturing.
What Manufacturing Capabilities Does Velosity Offer for Medical Devices?
Velosity’s medical device manufacturing capabilities include injection molding, precision and Swiss machining, tooling, automation, cleanroom manufacturing, assembly, and quality systems designed for regulated environments. These capabilities work together across development and production, so customers move from initial production runs to long-term manufacturing while maintaining consistency and quality.
Can Velosity Manufacture Surgical Instruments and Implants?
Yes. Velosity supports customers developing complex surgical instruments, implants, and other high-performance medical components that require tight tolerances and consistent, quality-focused production. Our precision machining team works alongside engineering to optimize designs and select the right processes for patient-critical applications before production begins.
