TekniPlex Healthcare has engaged David Schnur Associates (DSA), a global supplier of outsourced technical sales and marketing services for the medical device industry, to represent TekniPlex Healthcare’s interventional devices category. DSA’s team of interventional device technical experts spans markets in North and Latin America, Europe, Israel, and Turkey. 

The decision to partner with DSA reflects TekniPlex Healthcare’s rapid, extensive capabilities additions in the medical device sector. Partnering with DSA provides TekniPlex Healthcare with a ready-made extension of its internal sales, marketing, and customer management teams for selected interventional device products and services.

“Considering DSA’s exemplary reputation as true medical device specialists, partnering with their team of technical experts extends our in-house team of talented sales, marketing and customer management professionals in a truly plug-and-play fashion,” said Bryan Wesselmann, VP of Sales and Marketing for TekniPlex Healthcare. “As our capabilities in the interventional devices space continue to expand and diversify to address an ever-shifting landscape, working with the DSA team makes TekniPlex Healthcare even more prepared to provide expertise-driven engineering services to our global customer base.”

DSA’s turnkey technical experts will offer TekniPlex Healthcare a streamlined approach to expanding its evolving medical device business which will be subdivided into two customer service categories moving forward.

TekniPlex Healthcare will continue to internally handle all customer engagement for its Advanced Medical Solutions portfolio, which spans a variety of extruded tubing solutions, molded parts, and medical device compounds outside the sphere of interventional devices, as well as assembly and packaging services for such products.

DSA will support customer engagement activities for TekniPlex Healthcare’s Interventional Devices products and services, including precision polymer and metal components, complicated custom extrusions, and complex design and development projects involving implantable components (such as stents, stent-grafts, and transcatheter valves), catheter constructions, delivery systems, and molding and assembly projects associated with interventional devices.

“TekniPlex Healthcare’s Interventional Devices portfolio is a tremendous resource with strong niche technologies in complex extrusion, metal components and nitinol fabrication,” said DSA CEO Barry Schnur. “We’re excited to partner with TekniPlex Healthcare to support existing customers and to expand access to this collection of specialized interventional device solutions.”

TekniPlex Healthcare’s array of services supports customers from early ideation stages through product development, prototyping, clinical trials, testing, new product introduction and full production of catheter-based devices. This includes precision secondary processes and cleanroom assembly of Class II and Class III implantable components.
