As catheter designs grow more complex, the gap between development and manufacturing becomes increasingly difficult to navigate. Too often, programs that succeed in early development encounter delays, yield challenges, and costly rework when scaling to production. Through real world examples, this panel will break down four key reasons catheter programs fail at scale and explore how cross-functional teams can address these challenges early through intentional process innovation, stronger NPD to NPI integration, and more proactive planning. Attendees will gain practical strategies to reduce risk, improve production readiness, and accelerate the path to commercialization.
