NXCMED Provides Custom Implants, Complex Surgical Devices

Next Chapter Manufacturing (NCXMFG) has expanded into the implant and surgical device industry through the creation of Next Chapter Medical (NXCMED), an additive surgical company focused on the patient’s quality of life as well as achieving the most efficient surgery possible.

NXCMED is powered by a team of manufacturing experts with a proven track record of using transformative technologies such as additive manufacturing (AM) to provide exponential solutions. The company says it delivers innovative solutions in days through a scalable operating system within an ISO 13485:2016-certified facility, resulting in excellent customer experiences.

“We help companies succeed with additive manufacturing solutions that far exceed industry norms and provide the competitive manufacturing edge needed to be successful,” says Jason Murphy, Next Chapter Medical owner and CEO.

The company says it accelerates surgical companies’ design and manufacturing of the next generation of medical implants and surgical tools that enable the ease of surgery for both the doctor and the patient. NXCMED focuses on solving the toughest challenges by delivering patient-specific implants (PSI) — devices that enable a unique, personal approach to treating patients. In addition, supply chain issues are solved by eliminating costly inventory and lead times by delivering in days, not weeks.

NXCMED says it solves the biggest challenges in surgical patient quality of life. Most notably, its use of PSI improves the life of the patient. These uniquely tailored implants enable an overall quicker surgery, faster recovery time, and significantly reduced risk of infection to the surgical area. The company typically delivers in days which means zero inventory and further cost savings for the surgical centers.

The company aims to accelerate innovation and drives value by assisting customers in the design phase to optimize the AM process. Providing both implants as well as the most complex surgical devices means that NXCMED can deliver a complete start-to-finish solution.

“NXCMED enables customers to break away from the norms and truly design surgical devices and implants without limits to benefit the patient and surgeon alike,” Murphy adds.
