Whats it's like working with us
Luath Medical acts as "the bridge between in-house work and larger Contract Manufacturing engagement."

THE CHALLENGE
-
A precision handle mechanism concept — but no in-house bandwidth to develop it further
-
Uncertainty on off-the-shelf vs. custom manufacturing, including injection moulding
-
Big CMOs meant big upfront commitments just to explore the problem
WHAT WE DID
-
Acted as the bridge between in-house effort and a full CMO engagement
-
An agile team, sized to the problem, that adapted as the project evolved
-
Worked through multiple mechanism concepts to a clear final direction
-
Delivered a complete, consistent CAD and bill of materials
"The possibility to quickly and responsively customise the engagement to our needs." - Rikard Grankvist CEO
THE OUTCOME
-
A clear path from concept to physical prototype
-
A complete concept CAD and BOM package, ready for investors and manufacturers
-
Real traction toward clinical introduction
"A clearer path to physical prototypes and a complete CAD and BOM helped us for both interacting with investors and moving the project forward toward clinical introduction." - Rikard Grankvist CEO
