Fridtjof Strass is Senior Project Manager and Department Leader at MeKo Manufacturing, specializing in turning interventional device designs into manufacturable, scalable components. With over six years in the medical device industry, he guides projects from prototype to validation and into reliable series production.
His work centers on reducing technical uncertainty early and ensuring robust manufacturing processes once designs are finalized. Working with startups, OEMs, and CDMOs, he helps teams reduce development iterations and transition efficiently into series manufacturing. His practical manufacturing perspective supports complex engineering decisions where feasibility, process stability, and scalability need to align.
Learn the development path of critical components for interventional procedures from early concept to scalable production: By analyzing the integration of ground core wires and vascular implants, MeKo and Wytech highlight how making the right engineering decisions early – specifically around materials and tolerances – defines the success of scalable manufacturing and robust supply chains. This review provides technical leaders with practical insights for identifying supply chain partners that enable robust manufacturable designs, that ensure early-stage innovation translates into reliable, high-volume commercial production.
