Teleflex Medical OEM Opens Two EPIC Medtec™ Centers
to Accelerate Device Innovation
Wayne, PA Teleflex Medical OEM, a leading provider of medical device development and manufacturing services, announces two state-of-the-art EPIC Medtec™ Centers located in Mansfield, Massachusetts and Maple Grove, Minnesota. These facilities bring together expert engineering talent and extensive, integrated capabilities to enable clients to develop market-ready devices, reduce technical risk, and get the devices to market faster. Most device development can be accomplished in a few days instead of the weeks, months, or years required by traditional methods.
The EPIC Medtec™ Center ( Engineering, Prototyping, Innovation, Collaboration) in Mansfield focuses on the development of sutures and performance fibers, while the Maple Grove center is dedicated to catheter and access device innovation. Teleflex Medical OEM already operates a third EPIC Medtec™ Center, focused on catheter and access devices, in Limerick, Ireland.
The facilities utilize the multi-stage IDEA Medtec™ Process ( Innovation, Development, Engineering, Accelerator) that incorporates a client’s requirements into a device. New product ideas can be explored, prototyped, and tested on-site. Design for manufacturability is emphasized at each step of the process. Guess work is virtually eliminated since decision-making is data-driven via Teleflex Medical OEM’s proprietary analytic tools.
The smartly configured floorplans of the EPIC Medtec™ Centers were carefully planned to promote innovation in a collaborative environment. Everything is in place to move a device from concept to production-ready device. There are immersion labs for concept development, design engineering, and demonstrative prototyping and testing. Amenities such as a video conferencing center and 3D printing studio are also available.
