THINK TANK SESSION | Wed, June 10 | 11:15 am – 12:00 pm
How to Turn Supplier Relationships into Strategic Partnerships
OEMs and CMOs that communicate effectively and align shared values can accelerate orthopedic innovation and product development timelines. Developing working relationships based on consistently meeting expectations and shared problem-solving creates trust and teamwork that foster close-knit collaboration. Medtronic, OSSTEC, and their partner, Lincotek Medical, will provide attendees with practical advice on developing outsourcing deals based on transparency, clearly defined goals, and mutual interest in long-term growth.
Key Takeaways
- Understand how strong OEM-CMO alignment accelerates product development.
- Learn practical strategies for structuring outsourcing partnerships, especially as a startup or small company.
- Gain real-world perspective into building long-term relationships to leverage supply chain partners’ capabilities.

Binder Jetting 17-4 SS: Rethinking Cost, Speed, and Instrument Design
Medical instruments are critical to surgical success, yet are often developed under severe time and cost pressure from late-stage implant design changes. As implants finalize near launch, instrument sets often require redesign and rapid production, leading to complex manufacturing, long lead times, and high launch costs that strain the orthopedic device supply chain.
This presentation shows how binder jetting of 17-4 provides a practical solution. By decoupling geometric complexity from manufacturing cost, it enables design freedom to improve ergonomics and surgical workflow while maintaining scalability. Lincotek’s production process achieves H900 properties with excellent machinability for precision interfaces. Compared with conventional manufacturing, binder-jet instruments can reduce cost and lead time by up to 50% and weight by ~15%.
Attendees will learn design, post-processing, and implementation strategies enabling faster launches and more resilient instrument programs.
