edi-Line is a services company that presents itself as a “one stop-shop”: certified EN ISO 13485, the company carries out the development and manufacturing of medical devices in full compliance with an increasingly requiring regulatory environment. The single-use devices manufactured by Medi-Line are mostly made of injected and/or extruded plastic components that are assembled through various technics as subassemblies or finished sterile products. By offering components and regulatory services at various stages of production, Medi-Line is a fully-fledged subcontractor to key players in the medical and pharmaceuticals sector such as GE Healthcare and Johnson & Johnson. © Medi-Line

Medi-Line is a well-known supplier of the radio-pharmaceutical industry, to which it supplies components for the administration and/or synthesis of radiopharmaceutical substances. To list only a few of its end-user markets and applications, the company also manufactures devices for radiotherapy, implants for the treatment of stress incontinence in women (over a million have been sold) and catheters for bariatric surgery.

Constantly looking for ways to improve and reinvent itself, MediLine has been investing in the in-house development of new technologies to secure future growth. A first milestone will be achieved in Q1 of 2021 thanks to the implementation of its first collaborative robotics in its manufacturing process.
