The jury called it one of the standout solutions of this year's competition, citing it for innovation, quality, and forward-thinking design, the kind of solution that pushes the whole industry forward. It's a validation of the team's passion and ambition to always try to exceed our customers' expectations. Of obsessing over details, the end user may never consciously register but that create that intuitive, smooth experience. Blister geometry that lets a component lift out in one motion instead of three. A cavity shape that guides the product into the surgeon's hand the way they'd actually reach for it. The Easy Pick Blister started as a simple question: how do we make handling easier, without compromising anything MedTech demands of it. We are proud seeing that work, and the passion behind it, validated with this prestigious award. Particular thanks to Marina Hochstraßer, whose persistence carried this from idea to award-winning solution and congratulations to the whole packaging design team behind the Easy Pick blister.

What are you working on at the moment, Anela? "I've recently spent a day with a customer in the wet lab, testing a surgical tool designed to cut very hard bone. It's one thing to discuss design requirements on paper or build a 3D model. It's another to test the functionality properly, which means simulating real-world conditions as closely as possible. For me, that means gloves on, into the wet lab and making the cuts myself. Does the instrument feel secure in my hands, or does it slip once blood and fatty tissue are introduced? How much downward force do I need? Can the device handle the applied forces when used to make cuts? In the OR, the surgeon's hands must control the instrument, never the other way round. That's feedback you can't get on paper. Blood, soft tissue and fat all change how a device behaves, and none of it can be recreated in a 3D design environment alone. Feeling how a product performs under real conditions is what bridges the gap between the screen and the surgeon's hands. Whenever a customer is open to it, I recommend an in-person wet lab assessment before design improvements begin. Often, they learn as much about their own desired outcome as I do. And that's the difference between a contract manufacturer and a true development partner." Have a product idea? Talk to us. We'll bring the gloves. https://lnkd.in/eZsy33at

Jimmy Johansson on why our Skara cleanroom looks so empty – and why that's a good thing.

The Easy Pick blister is a good example of how we work at Elos. Yes, we design and deliver any packaging solution you may need for your medical product. But we can do more when we dive deep and bring in our engineering and clinical expertise to create packaging that does more than just protect. As a CDMO with integrated end-to-end capabilities, that's what we do. We look at your challenge holistically, ask questions and look for optimisation potential along the whole value chain: from idea to final product, through engineering, manufacturing, assembly and packaging, to fully integrated solutions. The Easy Pick blister emerged from a simple question: 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴?

The answer was to shape the blister around that specific movement making handling more controlled and predictable for the user. 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼.

Two centenarians in one family. Elos Medtech was founded in 1923. Josef Ganter Precision Mechanics opened its doors in Germany's Black Forest region only three years later. This year marks the 100th anniversary of what is today our Dauchingen site, part of Elos Medtech's network of 12 production sites across three continents. "A company doesn't stay successful for 100 years through luck," said our CEO Winfried Schaller at the celebration. "It stays successful because people deliver quality, take responsibility, and keep adapting." Four, maybe even five generations of employees have shaped the site, which today is highly specialised in surgical instruments and dental applications. It's these long histories, this experience and technical excellence built over decades, that make Elos Medtech what it is today. No single site can do everything, but together our network covers the entire journey: from development and industrialisation through manufacturing, assembly and packaging to fully integrated solutions. That's how we deliver value for our customers that no site could deliver alone. "For 100 years, this site has kept developing with its customers," says site leader Ernst Dietrich. "That's the best foundation we could ask for going into the next chapter." Thank you to everyone who has been part of this story, in Dauchingen and beyond. Congratulations on 100 years. Here's to the future. 🎉 Follow us and experience how we continue to make history.

What do sustainable practices actually change for customers? The direct impact is efficiency: less energy per unit produced, less material per shipment, less waste across the line. That translates into leaner operations, which over time affects cost, capacity, and how reliably we can deliver for our customers. Over the past year at Elos, it has looked like this: shifting more production to renewable energy, redesigning packaging to reduce material use and transport weight, or investing in more efficient equipment across all our sites. Small shifts individually — but cumulatively, the kind of discipline that flows through to the products we develop with and manufacture for our customers. We've collected all of this into our latest Sustainability Report. Worth a look if you want to see what the numbers actually say. Link in comments.

When manufacturing problems emerge during late-stage validation or industrialisation, design changes are often constrained by regulatory timelines, tooling is committed, and the cost of a single iteration loop is measured in months, not weeks. Michael Mocker, Manager Project Engineering NPI at Elos, has seen this pattern often enough to know what separates the programs that manage it from the ones that don't. It’s when the manufacturing partner is embedded in the NPI process from the beginning, not when drawings are released. “Our NPI Stage Gate Process gives product development teams something that is difficult to achieve otherwise: a transfer to production that proceeds as planned, because the conditions for success were established at each preceding gate. A smooth path to market access relies on process development that runs parallel with product development and manufacturability input that shapes design decisions before they become fixed. And gate reviews that reflect actual process capability, not optimistic projections. Are you starting a new NPI program? We'd love to hear about it. https://lnkd.in/ebtCixw5
