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.

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.

In the foreground, a man wearing a white lab coat, red baseball cap, and glasses is seated at a workbench, using a tool to work on an electronic device. 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, StarFish Medical Enterprise Partnerships 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.”
