Foam-Focused Medical Product Development, from Idea to Market
At Merry Medical, “foam-focused” means any medical product where foam plays a meaningful role – whether it’s the primary material or one essential component within a multi-material design. We work with a wide range of clients to bring product ideas to life.
Which of These Sound Like You?
Does this sound like you?
“I see a real problem in my day-to-day clinical work, and I have an idea that could help – but I don’t have a company, a prototype, or the time to figure out how to bring it to life.”
How Merry Medical can help:
We specialize in helping clinicians like you turn practical ideas into real medical foam or foam-focused products. Whether you have a sketch, a rough concept, or just a description of what needs to change, we can guide you through design, development, product manufacturing, and even sales – without requiring you to build a company or license your idea to a big device firm. If foam plays a meaningful role in your idea, we’re ready to explore it with you.
Does this sound like you?
“We have a clinician or faculty member with a promising idea – but we need an experienced partner who can help develop it into a real product without overwhelming internal resources.”
How Merry Medical can help:
We collaborate with hospitals and universities to turn foam-focused medical ideas into viable, market-ready products. From early concept evaluation to design, development, and compliant foam product manufacturing, we act as an extension of your innovation pipeline. We understand how to work within institutional frameworks – whether you’re seeking feasibility input, a development partner, or a commercialization pathway.
Does this sound like you?
“I’ve already formed a company and made some progress – maybe even a prototype – but I need an experienced partner who can help refine the design, manufacture the product, and get it ready for market.”
How Merry Medical can help:
We work with early-stage medtech companies that need foam-focused product expertise without the complexity of juggling multiple vendors. Whether you need design for manufacturability, regulatory-ready documentation, or a reliable manufacturing partner, we can help you move quickly – without compromising quality or compliance. You stay in control; we help you scale.
Does this sound like you?
“We’re an established medical device company with internal capabilities – but we need a partner who understands foam and can help us solve a specific design or manufacturing challenge without needing to manage the whole product.”
How Merry Medical can help:
We work with OEMs who don’t need end-to-end support – just a specialized partner who can deliver where foam matters most. Whether you’re refining a component, replacing underperforming materials, or developing a new foam-based subassembly, we provide targeted expertise, medical-grade fabrication, and ISO-certified process control. We integrate into your team without disrupting it.

Flexible by Design, Focused on What You Need.
Every client comes to us with a different starting point – and that’s exactly how we like it. Some already have a regulatory consultant, a CAD model, or a patent in progress. Others are starting with a sketch and a clinical insight. Merry Medical is designed to flex around what you already have, and fill the gaps with seasoned expertise – not reinvent the wheel.
We’re here to complement your strengths — not compete with them.
We’re comfortable partnering with your team, your consultants, or your institutional processes. And when a capability calls for highly specialized support – like regulatory submissions, IP, or reimbursement assessments – we can bring in trusted experts who live and breathe that domain.
