Process

Design Input

We believe the best results come from collaboration. It all begins with asking the right questions and then listening closely. Once we understand exactly what you need out of a case or tray, we provide thoughtful solutions to solve your design challenges.
Conceptual Design

With a shared vision in place, we work closely with your engineering team to design concepts and create rough layouts of the product being produced. This allows us to collectively see the instrument placement and planned functionality before investing time in the details.
Detailed Design

Our design team starts to pull it all together, ensuring each instrument will be secure during the rigors of use. Our goal here is to use as few components as possible in our trays, which helps reduce cost, assembly time, potential assembly defects, and helps maximize sterilizability.
Prototype

This is where the fun begins. We produce a fit and function prototype, allowing you to touch and test the product for instrument fit and to even perform sterilization validation testing. If any issues arise, we resolve them quickly before going into production.
