To succeed in this climate, medical device organisations must be more innovative than their competitors, and must ensure innovations actually happen quickly and efficiently, with minimum disruption to day-to-day operations.
PA Consulting Group works with medical device clients to speed up the delivery of innovative products, which is essential to driving growth and profitability. In our UK and US technology centres we have the laboratory, CAD/CAM, clean room and build facilities needed to conceive technology, to create working prototypes rapidly and to deliver full product development.
PA developed a novel colonoscope for Ethicon Endo-Surgery from initial concept to clinical trial units in twelve months.
Speed is the key to PA's service delivery
Our product and process engineering specialists are supported by the physical and human resources required to take projects from the early stages of development all the way through to production. We can be there, with your management team, throughout the full cycle of development, supporting the process with our broad base of scientific and management expertise.
We focus on rapid delivery because our clients need to exploit their business opportunities and resolve their problems fast. This has led PA to develop world-class risk management, rapid prototyping and technical management techniques. This expertise benefuts our clients through more rapid development programmes.
