What Is Medical Device Kitting?
Medical device kitting is the process of assembling multiple medical devices into a single, organized kit that is sent to hospitals or doctor’s offices. This method streamlines the supply chain by reducing clutter and minimizing the risk of oversight or errors.
By packaging devices like surgical instruments, implants, catheters or diagnostic equipment in a clean and controlled environment, kitting helps lower overall costs, reduces labor efforts and decreases the possibility of contamination or recall.

Packaging Services
Our qualified team offers packing services for your medical devices to streamline the medical sales process. We always utilize the highest quality packaging materials to keep products safe throughout the entire process.
Using medical device kitting services saves time, keeping all the products in one central location and making the packaging process easier for workers. Rather than going to multiple places to get the products, using a central location allows the packaging to be done faster, and faster packing means your products are going out to consumers at a faster and cheaper rate.
Our team also utilizes white rooms for safer packaging. These are specially sanitized rooms for packaging medical devices. These rooms ensure that during the packaging process, everything stays sterile and is free from contamination before it’s sent off.
Labeling Your Products
Packaging multiple products can result in many SKUs and labels that can get confusing and time-consuming. Having errors when it comes to labels can lead to a ton of issues down the line. Our trusted team uses only professional workers trained to handle your packing with the utmost care.
We will label all your products, including private labeling, to successfully deliver the product to the consumer. Private labeling involves various products being labeled and shipped under one name.
This is great for medical kits that include many different devices that need to be sent and delivered together. Utilizing private labeling allows you to sell your kits at a higher price, giving you a better return on your investment.
Product Testing & Inspection
In addition to services like kitting for hospitals, we can also offer product testing and inspection to ensure the items you are using and delivering to your clients meet regulation standards.
We have the ability to provide visual and manual testing in a variety of fields with industry-standard equipment or equipment that has been customized for your unique business needs.
The results we receive can then be delivered for quality assurance, scientific, or technical parameters.
These testing and inspection services allow you to do more than just meet and exceed standards. We have the ability to check stock in a thorough and methodical manner and also allows you to thrive during busy times such as product recalls that affect your whole inventory.
Scaling Your Business
When it comes to a business overhead, things can get quite costly down the line. Finding a way to balance lower costs while maintaining productivity is key to a successful business. Our medical product kitting services can help you cut overhead costs and increase productivity.
We understand that a successful business will often experience higher sales and growth periods that can be difficult to keep up with, even if they only last for a few months. More sales mean more kitting, packaging, and shipping. When that happens, you can count on MDI to have your back — and your business — covered.
