Medix is currently partnered with a leading contract manufacturer that specializes in precision medical wire and metal tubing components used in advanced interventional devices. This organization offers capabilities including precision grinding, wire straightening and cutting, tubing fabrication, CNC machining, laser processing, coating, and various secondary operations.
