Product Customization
Amir Bohadana I 14.07.2021

Customizing products to fit different needs of various applications and usage is a basic requirement of most manufacturing companies and in particular medical device manufacturers.
Medical device companies are consistently searching to develop new solutions for improved procedures and more effective patient treatment. The innovation of new solutions often requires customized devices and components which in many cases are small however essential part of the whole new product development.
Some manufacturers use in-house customization capabilities while others outsource projects to companies that have expertise in specific product lines, especially when it comes to smaller components and devices. To make it feasible for a company to invest such efforts in a specific component or a production line, it must be a company that focuses on a relative niche product line.
When it comes to medical product customization being able to customize products is good, but to truly be a significant partner in developing new systems, one needs to be familiar with the clinical area, have vast experience and internal knowledge in product customizations.
Furthermore, product customization processes require significant documentation in order to receive regulatory approval. In the medical device field this requirement is trifold – as each change requires regulatory approval and documentations according to ISO standards, biocompatibility, shipping tests and more.
