The Medtech industry encompasses both medical devices and technologies for diagnosing, monitoring, and treating medical conditions. Ireland has a strong reputation in the Medtech industry and Galway is a global hub for the industry. Medical devices designed and made in Galway are saving lives all over the world.

The medical device industry is vast and can encompass a very broad range of products, including minimal invasive surgical equipment, bioabsorbable products, surgical systems, optical products, dental products, drug delivery devices etc. There are also a wide variety of medical technology products encompassing analytics, digital health, diagnostics, etc. Companies can be involved in some or all activities in the supply chain. Injection Moulding is a very favourable cost effective process to use, when manufacturing medical devices. Medical grade plastic material lends itself well to the injection moulding process; it is safe, easy to sterilize and can be very durable, strong, flexible etc.

Injection moulded components can be moulded to exact specifications, with very tight tolerances. This ensure exceptionally accurate and high quality components, with virtually no variance from part-to-part.

The industry is constantly evolving to keep up with increased regulatory requirements, which has a knock on effect on budgets and quality systems. This is a big challenge for the industry and often can cause delays which have a huge financial impact. Our collaborative team in InverMed can help customers to overcome these challenges and offer innovative solutions to get their product to market.
