"I liked the 'one-stop shopping' aspect, where only prototype fabrication was outsourced." - Jan 2011 - July 2015 Project Dates
[For years, world-class surgeons loved our 'one-stop' engineering and regulatory approach, but the only friction point was waiting on outsourced prototyping. We listened. That is exactly why we built ISO 13485 Contract Manufacturing through our Kapstone Manufacturing facility in Charlotte—to bring that final piece of the puzzle in-house for our clients.]
"Kapstone Medical designed and built surgical instruments for a medical device firm, including prone lateral spinal access instruments, retractors, and spinal fusion implants. They also handled IP protection."
