Surgical instrument requires calling in a development expertise
An innovator of surgical instruments turned to Custom Rubber Corp. to manage several manufacturing challenges. First, the instrument handles required bonding silicone rubber to aluminum, which necessitates a special adhesive for long-lasting durability. In addition, the color and texture of the handle were critical design factors, requiring precise Pantone color matching and careful mold and material design. The handle developed for the first instrument is now slated for expansion to other products in the line.
