Rapid Prototyping
-
Confluent Medical Technologies is committed to offering speed during development and scalability during production. We have dedicated prototyping resources and are committing to our lead times.
- 2-3 weeks for tooling and extrusions (with onhand materials)
- 1-2 weeks for prototype dilators
- Additional lead-time needed for customer overmolding hubs
