Sterling Medical Devices, a fully staffed U.S. based medical device engineering firm, is entirely dedicated to helping our clients resolve medical device design and development challenges – from concept through completion – by applying our expertise in the industry since 1998. Our medical device development group addresses the whole development process: systems, software, electronics, mechanical, quality, and compliance.
Our staff consists of teams of medical device designers, medical device developer experts, and certified project managers, working exclusively on projects in the medical device design and development industry. We incorporate the most current FDA guidelines and regulations, best practices and latest tools in the industry for your development projects – or any parts of it, based on your company’s specific needs. We can help you optimize your budget and shorten development times for your Class l, ll, or lll device using the latest tools and technologies. If you have a technical issue or other challenge that is delaying your current project, we have the resources and expertise to jump right in and get your project back on track. Our approach allows our clients to get to market faster, streamline the regulatory process, minimize risk and save costs.
Unlike some of our competitors in the medical device design and development industry, we do not have a stake in the manufacturing revenue stream, so we do not reuse work that is not optimized for the product simply to move more quickly to the manufacturing phase, leaving you to defend design risk challenges to your product. We adhere to budget and schedule while designing our clients’ products with a focus on user needs, requirements, all the while making smart design choices based on our extensive and diverse product development experience.
