How Ross Optical Helps Medical OEMs

Today’s medical devices are shrinking, while quality requirements are increasing. At the same time, international supply chains and cost controls are shifting. Our experts help OEMs overcome these challenges with an extensive catalog of optics, global sourcing capabilities, engineering expertise, and manufacturing support.

 

Challenges We Have Solved

Micotrac, a particle characterization OEM, needed a 2-lens assembly that reached two wavelengths. Ross created a custom lens with a dual coating and only a 0.1% surface reflection, enabling higher performance while reducing costs.  A California-based medical device company needed custom singlets and doublets for ophthalmic procedures. By providing manufacturing recommendations early, Ross helped improve product performance while reducing overall system costs. PhotoKinetics required highly specific wavelength control for imaging and light-based therapies. Ross provided two filter coating profiles that optimized prototypes for field testing without needing design iterations.
