We have been using FedEx for all of our shipping needs. They carry our product to/from the sterilizer, and have been very responsive to our special handling requests. Website is fully functional and easy to use.
Strengths: Expedited US & International Shipping

Very interesting metallic filters. We tried them for a couple of uses, but nothing has caught on quite yet. The quality seemed consistent, and the people at Mott really seem to understand their product.
Strengths: Porous metal

We purchased tear-away introducer sheaths from Martech. They are pretty good, and do, indeed, reliably tear away. I would go here again should the need arise.

GIGANTIC stock of high-strength magnets sold by a guy who really loves magnets. (Check out his youtube channel to see what I mean) Magnets for every application that you have, and I find myself constantly finding new ways to use them. As a matter of fact, I'm heading there now!
Strengths: MAGNETS!!!!

We bought a modular (not portable) CER from Servicor. The quality was great, and even the soft-walls were durable. Our unit had full doors, not the cheesy flaps and met the Class 10 requirements with ease. Highly recommended.
Strengths: CER design and fabrication

I have used Industrial to annodize Al fixtures for use in the cleanroom. Quality and color selection were both good, service was great.
Strengths: Annodizing

Great little welding unit that is simplified so most any operator can use it. Electrode is shielded inside a box, just hook up the Argon cylinder and start working!
Strengths: Compact TC welder

The company formerly known as "Exfo" which was formerly known as "Efos". The onmicure/novacure systems are very versatile UV light sources for use curing most any light initiated adhesive. This may be old technology as the UV LED's come to prominance, but these systems work great.
Strengths: UV Light Sources & Light Guides

Very high quality instruments. I especially like using the mechanical digital micrometers and analog snap gages. Starrett also makes very nice adhesive rules for workbenches and pin vises.
Strengths: High Quality Measurement & Hand Tools

No medical device R&D lab is complete without a Micro-Mark cut-off saw. In fact, you will find that you need one in your garage as well. They also have a great selection of hand tools for working with small assemblies.
Strengths: Small hand and power tools

Western stocks or can get just about everything you need to stock a machine shop. We have purchased a lot of tooling due to close proximity of the SJ shop, their delivery truck and general convenience. Guys at the counter are very helpful in person or by phone.
Strengths: Huge inventory of drills, taps, measurement instruments and machine shop supply.

Good UV adhesive for construction of medical devices. Comes in tubes compatible with our EFD's so that's nice too.
Strengths: UV cure adhesive

Good source for getting Tyvek/Poly pouches in a variety of materials/thicknesses. Their lead times are normally great, pricing is average. Give them a try!
Strengths: Pouches

An alternative to Go Engineer for the purchase of SolidWorks. They moved a little on price, but not too much. Since the software is the software, you should go for the lowest price or get them to cut a deal on training.
Strengths: SolidWorks seller
