Optics makes amazing things possible in the life sciences.
Optikos makes it happen.
We partner with clients in life sciences hubs around the world who are developing medical devices and diagnostic tools enabled by optics.
When you need a flexible and scalable resource to help move your product from concept through manufacturing, our engineering expertise in design, assembly, and optical testing makes us an ideal partner.
Our teams have worked at the forefront of surgical and medical technologies, developing complicated designs that incorporate optics and photonics, opto-mechanics, software, electronics, and automation; and meet rigorous regulatory requirements.
You receive full transparency of the development process along the way, and at the end of your journey, no matter how intensively we collaborate or how deeply we innovate, you own the design.
And when you transition to manufacturing, Optikos is well-positioned to help. We’ll provide pilot production, test procedures, assembly instructions, and training to get you up and running quickly; we’ll act on your behalf in identifying a manufacturer equipped to meet your needs; or we’ll offer contract manufacturing at our facility. We do whatever is in our client’s best interest.

How to Go to Market Successfully in the Medical Device Space: Pre-Development
The failure rate for medical device startups can be as high as 90%. The question is, why do so many fall short? Is it due to funding challenges, the complexity of the technology, over-commitment coupled with under-delivery, a lack of understanding of the competitive landscape, or perhaps a shortage of engineering experience and manufacturing capabilities? […]
