Mars International specializes in manufacturing partnerships, focusing on
time-to-market, reduced cost, and high-quality production and design of
products. Founded in 1964 as an electrical components supplier, Mars grew
and evolved, pioneering global offshore manufacturing and a dynamic
ability to design products ready for mass production.
The company’s approach to mass-produced products has made it a perfect fit
for the healthcare industry, and it has a long history of great work with
medical products.
The Mars Approach
Our engineers and designers approach their job with a mass production
mindset. Product designs are not made to look pretty on paper, but with an
understanding that parts need to come together in a certain way for
assembly at a high rate. Mars works with customers as partners to design
the products they need while understanding the production process and the
global supply chain to deliver cost and design efficiencies.
Mars provides design services and also contract manufacturing services. If
a product already exists, Mars can get a quote and start manufacturing it,
providing a quick turnaround if needed, while also looking for
second-generation product opportunities.
Dynamic Products that Meet FDA Regulations
Mars International is very experienced with meeting FDA regulations and
satisfying all regulatory and legal requirements when designing and
manufacturing medical products.
For example, Mars designed and manufactured several handheld electrical
devices over the years which recently include the gammaCore. This is an
FDA-cleared device that treats migraines without the need for medication
or more invasive treatments. Our design engineers successfully married the
manufacturability and functionality of the product as well as the
aesthetics.
Mars also worked with Abbott Laboratories and Johnson and Johnson,
designing a battery holder for an analyzer strip for diabetics to
regularly check their blood sugar. The product had to meet FDA, but also
ADA regulations for accessibility. Seniors had to be able to access and
change out the battery when needed.
Broad Experience in the Medical Field
The company has a “clean room” facility as part of its production process
and can, and has done, high-quality medical products to meet various
medical needs and procedures.
Mars’ experience in the medical field ranges from more specialized, unique
parts and equipment to general medical products. We have produced other
mechanical items such as range-of-motion knee brace hinges but also
manufactured orthopedic cold therapy control boards, blood analyzers,
electrolysis system controllers, and isometric physical therapy knee
exercise controllers.
Mars makes surgical needles, stainless steel tubing for elective
surgeries, and suture needles. The Mars partnership approach and design
capabilities mean the company can make any needle on spec. Some of Mars’
more high-end experience includes control sensor software, sophisticated
injection-molded plastic, surgical medical-grade products, and tubes used
in laparoscopic and arthroscopic surgery.
