Below is a summary of a typical medical device development timeline. The top illustration depicts the “norm” amongst 95% of the MDMs. Without packaging engineering as a core competency and utilizing the existing sterile packaging converters to supply this critical piece issues occur at the end of the project resulting in significant delays.

By utilizing PackagingMD for the design (bottom of illustration), development and validation of the sterile barrier packaging system, project delays are eliminated, cost effective package designs are implemented and clinical studies begin on schedule, FDA review of the packaging validation is a non-issue, and most importantly project launch and revenue opportunities are met.
