FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IMDS® (Innovative Medical Device Solutions) announces the addition of its newest Co-Innovation™ facility in Orlando, Florida. The new facility joins three other IMDS Co-Innovation facilities based in Logan, Utah; Chandler, Arizona; and Salt Lake City, Utah.
As a leader of design in Orthopaedic Medical Devices, IMDS Co-Innovation brings over 350 years of combined experience to the development of innovative medical products. The 12,000-square-foot facility currently houses 13 product development engineers, a surgical skills cadaver lab, a prototype manufacturing machining center, an additive manufacturing development center, and a verification and validation mechanical testing laboratory. These capabilities allow IMDS to provide world-class service while continuing to enhance the quality of life and standard of care for patients.
Chief Technology Officer Dan Justin stated, “This IMDS Co-Innovation expansion is all about better connecting our talented resources to the needs of the medical device industry. We are excited about expanding our footprint to include the East Coast. IMDS has an exceptional talent pool and has enhanced its product development capabilities by moving to a location with faster access to many of our corporate customers and surgeon partners. Additionally, Orlando is already proving to be a great location to access the international medical device industry.”
With this recent addition, IMDS service areas now span the country across nine different locations. Specializing in outsourcing to the medical device community, companies and surgeon inventors come to IMDS to bring their product ideas to full market realization.
