Medical devices need to be constructed with the utmost care and consideration. Human life becomes jeopardized if devices do not meet strict standards and regulations. Medical devices are an important part of pushing patient care forward into the future, from surgical instruments to airflow sensors. Medical device assembly systems are one of the best and most efficient ways to produce disposable medical equipment.
Medical equipment is used daily, from routine checkups to life-saving applications. Dentist, doctor, and veterinarian practices contain a wide range of products that were built using medical device assembly systems. Medical professionals need to know that the life-saving equipment they use is reliable each time they treat a patient. According to the Grand View Research Group, sales of disposable medical devices exceeded 240 billion dollars in 2019. They also estimate that these numbers will grow upwards of 15% between 2020 and 2027. Disposable medical devices are used by the millions each year, and those numbers will continue to keep growing.
Modern automation technology allows for unique and specific parts and products to be built. For instance, surgical devices are often produced using rotary indexers. Indexing dials have been used in automation for decades now because they are inexpensive, fast, and highly precise. The machines are seen as reliable, and they can assemble parts and products with a small footprint and minimal fixtures.
