Fast Forward Medical

We've gone to Fast Forward in the past for braided shaft assemblies. They have done a good job getting our parts to us on time. Parts are received and for the most part meet our specifications. The engineers are very thorough and are very responsive. They keep us well informed of any potential issues that may arise and seem to be one step ahead. All in all they have have been a good supplier.

I believe they may have been acquired by Vention so I hope their quality does not drop off.

Strengths: Braided shafts

Needs to improve: None

I have worked with the FFM team on the development of several catheter products. They have been entrusted with taking an existing design through the product improvement process and into production. This includes device design, design validation, process validation, sterilization validation and finally manufacturing. Anyone who has worked with contract R&D or Manufacturers knows that this is much easier said than done, but FFM does a good job at communicating the current status of the project and doing their best to stay on schedule and budget.

Strengths: Contract Design thru Manufacturing

Needs to improve: none

We contracted Fast Forward to consult on a device prototype we have been researching. We needed contract manufacturing and wanted a rough timeline as to how soon a prototype could be developed. They were extremely responsive, addressing all of our concerns immediately. Rather quick turnaround for complex design requests. Staff is well versed and offered a wide selection of services. Quality work product and a great team.

Strengths: product quality, customer service, spectrum of solutions and turnaround time

Needs to improve: none

We've engaged Fast Forward Medical for a catheter prototype we were designing for a top client. Our regular vendor could not provide tubings with a diameter and material that our client wanted. Fortunately, the staff at Fast Forward Medical were able to build the custom tubings that we needed to our exact specifications. The lead time was a little long, but they were thorough and the finished product was high quality.

Strengths: custom shafts and tubing

Needs to improve: None.
