Enterprise Partnerships

Navigate Complexity, Accelerate Innovation

Bringing a new medical device to market is a high-stakes endeavor. Even the most well-resourced enterprises face roadblocks—lengthy development cycles, regulatory hurdles, and unforeseen technical challenges can stall progress and erode competitive advantage. Internal teams, no matter how skilled, often contend with bandwidth constraints, blind spots in emerging technologies, or the challenge of balancing innovation with execution. Without the right expertise and strategic support, delays, cost overruns, and missed opportunities can threaten success.

At StarFish Medical, we help market leaders anticipate and overcome these challenges. Our expertise extends beyond conventional problem-solving—we identify and address both the obvious and hidden obstacles that stand between you and your business objectives. Whether you need a dedicated innovation partner to fuel breakthrough ideas or an execution team to bring your vision to life, we provide the agility, technical depth, and regulatory foresight to keep your projects on track and ahead of the curve.

A group of four people in a meeting room engaged in a discussion. Three people sit at a white table — two men and one woman — attentively watching a fourth person standing and demonstrating or presenting something with small objects. The table holds various items, including swatches, a pencil case, and office supplies. A blank TV screen with a "No Signal" message is mounted on the wall in the background, and a large window allows natural light into the room.

One woman, wearing a blue dress and safety glasses, sits at a desk with dual computer monitors, while the other woman, in a white blouse and jeans, stands beside her, pointing to documents in an open binder on the desk. The scene is viewed through a glass partition, with reflections partially visible, and the workspace includes technical equipment and office supplies.

Uncompromising Quality and Precision

We uphold the highest standards of accuracy and compliance, ensuring your product meets regulatory requirements and is manufacturable at scale.

State-of-the-Art Development Facilities

With ISO-certified labs and cleanroom environments in Irvine, Vancouver, and Toronto, we offer in-house capabilities for rapid prototyping, V&V testing, and manufacturing in FDA-registered facilities.

The bench is cluttered with various instruments, tools, and equipment. In the background, another technician in a white lab coat is standing and working at a separate station under a bright task light. The environment is organized and technical, indicating detailed assembly or testing work.

Seamless Transition to Manufacturing

Whether you require contract manufacturing support or need a technical transfer partner, we ensure a smooth transition from development to large-scale production.

“StarFish has the ability to be innovative, practical, and then execute on the design. StarFish Medical’s ability to execute is what I value the most.  They were really committed to taking on any problem and challenge.  Without any real predicate technology to guide them, they solved the problem, addressed the challenge and came up with an executable plan to effect a meaningful solution that resulted in actual functional technology.  For us that is incredibly valuable.”
