Episode Synopsis
You've all spent plenty of time seeing orthopaedic implants used in their final form. But where do these things come from? And how are they made? What you see in the ORis a polished implant, but behind that device is a hidden, high-stakes journey where one broken link in the chain can delay care and alter outcomes.In this episode, Gary Thomas, SVP of Manufacturing at Onkos Surgical, takes us inside the unseen world of medical device manufacturing. We uncover fragile supply chains that threaten timelines, the quiet revolution of robotics in production, and the myths and limits of 3D printing. This is the untold race that transforms raw material into survival, and it’s happening long before a surgeon ever makes an incision.
