Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)
Schivo’s minimally invasive surgical solutions support advanced medical systems that perform surgery through small incisions. This technology reduces trauma to the body, minimizes pain and blood loss, and speeds up recovery. MIS systems combine high-precision instrumentation, imaging, and sometimes robotic assistance. Schivo’s components and devices provide value beyond contract manufacturing that enhances OEM profit while improving surgical outcomes.
We provide the access devices, instruments, and robotic components for endovascular, cardiovascular, structural heart, neurovascular, and sports medicine surgical systems.
These components include the following:
- Surgical Instrument Components
Precision-machined and molded parts used in laparoscopic and endoscopic instruments. - Access and Port System Components
Critical components for trocar and port systems, such as cannulas, housings, and sealing elements that enable safe and reliable surgical access. - Endoscopic and Visualization Device Components
Structural and functional components for scopes and imaging systems, including housings, mounts, and distal-end components requiring tight tolerances and high-quality finishes. - Energy and Actuation Device Assemblies
Mechanical and structural components for devices that cut, seal, or coagulate tissue, including linkages, insulated shafts, and protective housings. - Single-Use and Disposable MIS Devices
Injection-molded and hybrid metal-plastic components and assemblies designed for high-volume, cost-effective production. - Precision Subassemblies for MIS Systems
Custom machined parts, molded components, and assembled modules that integrate into complex surgical platforms.
Why OEMs Partner with Schivo
Schivo’s capabilities and unconventional thinking provide medical device companies with:
- Design and engineering support, qualification, validation, and SICR, including design for manufacturability (DFM)
- Scalable production from prototype to commercialization
- Precision manufacturing and injection molding – advanced machining, molding, and assembly for intricate, minimally invasive surgical components
- Complex mechanical and electromechanical assembly
- Stringent regulatory compliance and quality assurance under ISO 13485 certification and FDA registration
- Cost and time efficiency
- Risk mitigation
- Simplified supply chain and logistics
- Post-market support and lifecycle management
Schivo’s components and devices have provided MIS OEMs with value beyond contract manufacturing services. For example, a medical device OEM was manufacturing a surgery system’s shuttle assembly for $56. Schivo developed a process that produced the assembly for $13.50, saving $25 million over the life of the product.
