Next Medical Design was founded in 2008 with the idea of creating a boutique technical service company for the medical device industry. Our first capital investments, a CNC machine and a pull tester, were setup in a garage located just north of Raleigh, NC. By 2015, business growth and the need for more space led us to acquiring our current office space near RDU airport and Research Triangle Park. Since then our breadth of capabilities have grown to include small lot manufacturing of catheters, molded components and veterinary devices.
