The Physician’s Product Development Partner

Empower Medical Devices is in the business of commercializing medical device development ideas and sharing profits with healthcare professionals. Our processes protect the intellectual properties and ideas of inventors and use a formal product development system to keep inventors informed during each stage. We target product development opportunities often ignored by larger companies.

As a catalyst for change, Empower Medical Devices brings medical device ideas to life by legitimizing innovation with a solid and proven process for design, development, manufacturing and marketing. We help physicians achieve FDA approval for Class I, II or III products. Our services include market evaluation, engineering, manufacturing, distribution, compliance, finance, sales and after-sales support.

Empower Medical Devices differs from most medical device engineering firms and contract manufacturers, because we provide more transparency than anyone, and we do it all – from concept to carton. Other firms may only specialize in one or two steps in the process. Empower Medical Devices is with you every step of the way – our regular progress review meetings include YOU in every session. You don’t have to take our word for it, just check our testimonials.
