Manufacturing implantable medical devices requires products to achieve a high degree of precision and quality. Hudson Technologies uses state-of-the-art deep-draw manufacturing techniques to create parts that satisfy the three main requirements of building medical equipment:

  • Clean medical components
  • Cutting-edge, precision equipment

We specialize in deep drawing titanium and stainless steel to create devices used for active stimulation. Hudson meets medical industry challenges by using the best tooling and equipment to achieve high-quality results.

Industry Challenges

Hudson has developed comprehensive strategies to overcome the array of challenges endemic to medical device manufacturing. We capitalize on our expertise to achieve quality results in:

  • Regulatory compliance: Medical devices must comply with stringent governmental and third-party standards, which vary across countries
  • Ensuring product quality: Medical devices must go above and beyond in terms of ensuring their products are safe, secure, and reliable
  • Data security: Safeguarding sensitive medical data is critical to developing patient trust, especially as more and more medical facilities move to cloud-based systems and “smart” devices
  • Localization of medical devices: Medical devices must be accessible to the countries in which they’re sold—especially with electronic applications, manufacturers must ensure that the devices suit the languages and practices of their host countries
  • Development and production costs: Maintaining affordable production and development costs ensures that medical devices can do the most good while allowing manufacturers to reinvest profits into new research
