Medical device manufacturing
Bridging design and manufacture - from clinical builds to scale-up
The hardest part of manufacturing isn’t volume, but the transition from design into regulated production. TTP bridges that gap by helping you develop the device and the manufacturing process in parallel, supporting agile clinical and early production builds. With no minimum volumes, no CMO lock-in, and no process IP constraints, you retain control of your product and supply chain. We help you reach the clinic sooner and transfer to full-scale manufacturing with confidence, without late-stage surprises.
Design and manufacturing, tightly integrated
When design and manufacturing work as one team from the start, you avoid the disconnects that often create delays, rework, and transfer headaches later on.
TTP supports you with:
· Manufacturing input built into design reviews from day one
· DFM/ DFA insight to make designs production-ready early
· Faster resolution of build issues through close collaboration
· Reduced risk at verification and design transfer
· One continuous journey from prototype to clinical builds
Because we are not a high-volume CMO, our incentives are aligned with yours: to design a process that will scale cleanly when the time is right, not to pull you prematurely into fixed production routes.
TTP has been an incredible partner, complementing our expertise and delivering designs from whiteboard to moulded functional prototypes. With TTP’s support, Achilles Therapeutics is scaling its manufacturing process and bringing transformative therapies from bench to bedside. The TTP team has shown the same level of excitement as us in getting these therapies to the people who need them.

Rapid builds for clinical momentum
As you approach verification or clinical studies, speed isn’t about rushing, it’s about avoiding months lost to external delays, or slow disconnected teams. Cleanroom and microfabrication capability onsite enables tighter process control for devices incorporating microfluidics, sensors, MEMS-like structures, or precision assemblies, where early manufacturing conditions materially influence performance.
TTP helps you maintain momentum with:
- Short lead times for verification and clinical builds
- Dedicated manufacturing facilities spanning 1,100m², including cleanrooms, microfabrication, assembly, and other specialist labs
- Faster build–test–refine cycles under one roof
- Rapid response to engineering changes when designs evolve
- Controlled builds that generate trusted clinical evidence
No minimums, no forced commitments
Early-stage devices rarely follow predictable demand curves. Manufacturing should flex with your project, not force you into thresholds or long-term commitments.
With TTP, you can:
- Build singleunits or early series volumes with no minimum order
- Scale from prototypes to ~100,000 low-complexity devices annually, and hundreds to low thousands for high-complexity systems
- Support uncertain adoption curves, novel products, or emerging markets
- Retain full ownership of product and process IP
- Delay final CMO selection until design maturity, enabling a true competitive bidding process
This gives you strategic freedom: validate the design, mature the process, and then select the right long-term manufacturing partner based on data, not dependency.
Scale-up when you’re ready
The goal isn’t to transfer to a CMO quickly; it’s to transfer at the right moment, with the processes, evidence, and confidence needed to scale smoothly. We can help you with:
- Manufacturing process development and validation alongside the product
- Supplier identification and selection informed by hands-on build experience
- Documentation and data packs to support design transfer
- Training and collaborative builds with your chosen CMO
- A smoother pathway from clinical supply to high-volume manufacture
We have successfully transferred programmes to external CMOs following clinical and early commercial builds, with validated processes, qualified suppliers, and clean handovers, reducing the typical friction seen when DfM is theoretical rather than proven in practice.
Regulatory-grade manufacturing confidence
For MedTech, manufacturing isn’t just about making units; it’s about building in a way that stands up to scrutiny. We provide:
- ISO13485-certified manufacturing where required
- Full traceability, batch records, and controlled processes
- Cleanroom environments aligned with medical device standards
- Evidence that supports verification and clinical builds
- Access to trusted partners for sterilisation and low-volume fill–finish where needed
