Sherry Laboratories' specialization in instrument durability, impact load cell testing and torque testing will enable Symmetry's Warsaw DDC to identify necessary product modifications and quickly address the changes during the development cycle. Implementing the testing process into the overall manufacturing timeline is expected to reduce the time it takes to move product to market.
"Sherry Laboratories has been serving the medical device industry for nearly twenty years and is delighted to establish this unique partnership with Symmetry Medical," said Christopher LaMothe, chairman and CEO of Sherry Laboratories. "This industry-leading concept allows Symmetry Medical's customers to enjoy the confidence of independent third party testing as an integrated part of product design, development and quality assurance."
"As the world's leading independent provider of implants, related instruments and cases to orthopedic device manufacturers, as well as an established product design and development provider to several other segments of the medical device market, Symmetry recognizes the value that independent, on-site testing will bring to our design and development cycle. Partnering with Sherry Laboratories provides a natural extension of our value added services, which enable our customers to achieve greater speed to market," said Barry Parker, senior vice president, Symmetry Medical Design & Development Center.
In partnering with Microtest Laboratories Inc., a leader in third-party independent testing services and contract manufacturing for the medical device, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, Symmetry Medical's DDC in Manchester, N.H., becomes the first surgical instruments case manufacturer in the United States to offer services ranging from sterilization validation to cleanability testing.
"Symmetry Medical's ability to consolidate third-party validation into the case design and manufacturing process provides a significant time-to-market advantage to medical device manufacturers. By instituting these measures, Symmetry ensures its customers the highest levels of quality and efficiency and positions itself ahead of what may soon to be a requirement throughout the industry," said Dr. Steven Richter, president and founder of Microtest Laboratories Inc.
"Our ongoing partnership with Microtest Laboratories, a world class test organization, provides Symmetry Medical with the ability to enhance its Total Solutions offerings to its multitude of medical product customers," said Michael Curtis, senior vice president and general manager, medical products, Symmetry Medical. "The opportunity to provide total design, manufacturing sterilization and cleanability testing for all our medical products maintains our position as a supplier of choice in the medical device market."[[In-content Ad]]
