Design for Manufacturability (DfM): Why It Matters and How to Build It In from Day One
Design for Manufacturability shortens time to market, protects margins, and cuts the odds of a late-stage redesign. The catch is sequencing: it only works when manufacturability is evaluated alongside performance and cost, not after tooling is cut. A look at what DfM means in practice for complex device programs.
Film & Tubing Extrusion in Medical Devices: Balancing Flexibility, Barrier Properties, Strength, and Biocompatibility
Film and tubing extrusion may seem like a small part of a medical device, but it directly impacts performance, safety, and long-term reliability. From IV sets to flexible solution bags, the materials and processes behind extrusion determine how well a device withstands pressure, maintains sterility, and interacts with the human body. At PiSA USA, extrusion is more than just a capability — it’s a core part of our vertically integrated manufacturing ecosystem, allowing us to deliver precise, compliant, and fully traceable components within complete end-to-end device assemblies.
