Frequently asked questions
Polaris supports projects at every stage of the development journey, from early concepts through to manufacturing scale-up. Whether you're exploring an idea, refining a prototype or preparing for production, we can help identify the right next steps.
No. Many clients engage Polaris long before their design is complete. We can help shape the development strategy, identify technical risks and ensure manufacturing is considered from the outset.
While Polaris is not a regulatory consultancy, we develop products and manufacturing processes with regulatory requirements in mind. We can support design controls, manufacturing documentation, validation planning and work alongside your regulatory team or external specialists.
Every project is different, so costs depend on the scope and stage of development. Following an initial discussion, we'll provide a clear proposal outlining the work, deliverables and associated costs before any work begins.
Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with researchers, start-ups, design consultancies and established MedTech companies, providing specialist engineering expertise where it's needed most.
Your intellectual property remains yours. Unless agreed otherwise, Polaris does not claim ownership of any designs, inventions or developments created as part of your project.
