Medical device company outsources material research/development and manufacturing for infusion therapy product line
One of REDpoint International’s primary products is the StedLine IV Sleeve. It acts as a stabilizing device for an IV primary line set, providing greater patient comfort and reducing risk of IV failure. The StedLine IV Sleeve has proven especially beneficial for elderly and pediatric patients, as it absorbs yanks and tugs that commonly cause IV catheters to fail, and it does not involve any gluing or taping to secure the IV to the skin. When seeking FDA Class I, 510k status and bringing this device to market, one of REDpoint’s primary production goals was to make manufacturing as cost-efficient as possible, while keeping production within the United States, both for quality standards and to retain jobs stateside. In addition, they wanted a high-quality finished product that was patient-friendly, safe, comfortable and PVC free. Register to read more.
