When Time Matters, Medtronic Already Knows Who to Call.
Whether it’s a prototype build, validation hardware, or a project that simply can’t wait, Fathom has helped Medtronic teams move quickly when timelines get tight.
As Medtronic continues to advance diabetes, robotics, neuroscience, and cardiovascular technologies, we’re ready to support even more of that work.
Multiple Growth Initiatives. One Team Responsible for Making It Work.
Medtronic is advancing pulsed-field ablation, expanding Hugo, navigating the MiniMed separation, and driving growth across multiple business units at the same time.
Each initiative brings its own demands: prototype builds, validation hardware, engineering changes, production support, and the documentation that comes with operating in a regulated environment.
None of those requirements are unusual on their own. The challenge is managing all of them simultaneously while keeping programs on schedule.
That’s where Fathom has often been able to help. When timelines tighten and internal teams are stretched, we provide the engineering and manufacturing support needed to keep projects moving.

Speed and Compliance Shouldn’t Be a Trade-Off. With Fathom, They Aren’t.
Quick-turn shops move fast and cut corners on documentation. Tier 1 contract manufacturers protect their schedule, not yours. Medtronic’s precision device programs need both at once: The responsiveness to absorb ECO-driven design iterations and launch rate ramps and the discipline to ship ISO 13485-traceable, FAI-ready, lot-controlled hardware. Fathom is engineered for that intersection and we’re committed to supporting patient care.
-
DFM, DFQ, and DFE engagement before the quote, not after the first rejected part. Engineers on the phone with engineers, not a quoting portal.
-
ISO 13485-controlled processes, FAI/PPAP execution, lot traceability, and full inspection packages built into every program as standard.
-
Multi-process execution under one accountable model: CNC machining, precision injection molding, additive manufacturing, sheet metal, finishing, and assembly—all coordinated as a single operating model.
-
Domestic network plus Fathom Edgeworks for tariff-smart global sourcing, so supply chain resilience and cost discipline aren’t mutually exclusive.
-
White-glove service as a default—the same engineering and program-management discipline on a 50-piece prototype as on a 2,000-piece bridge production order.
Cardiovascular & Cardiac Ablation: From PFA Prototype to Compliant Bridge Production.
Medtronic’s pulsed-field ablation portfolio, which includes Affera, Sphere-9, PulseSelect, is converting fast clinical momentum into commercial production demand. Catheter handle iterations, connector validations, lead hardware, and launch-lot documentation all have to move together without losing traceability or ISO 13485 discipline. Fathom is the responsive, regulated domestic overflow that keeps PFA programs on schedule.

Medical Surgical & Robotics: Keep Hugo and GI Genius on Rollout Schedule.
Hugo RAS has been cleared for U.S. urological procedures and expanding in Europe. GI Genius is advancing in AI-guided colonoscopy. Both programs create waves of structural hardware, service parts and installation brackets that must ship on compressed timelines. Fathom supplies the precision mechanical layer so Medtronic’s surgical platforms keep moving and patient care keeps improving thanks to Medtronic innovation.

ISO 13485-certified quality management with FAI/PPAP, lot traceability, material certifications and full inspection documentation.
-
A multi-site domestic network that encompasses precision CNC, injection molding, additive, sheet metal, finishing and assembly.
-
Fathom Edgeworks extends the domestic network with tariff-smart global sourcing, vetted offshore tooling and landed-cost transparency.
Case Studies
How Medical Programs Stayed on Schedule With Fathom
Engineering Is a Partnership. We Treat It That Way.
Fathom isn’t a transactional machine shop and we don’t behave like one. Every Medtronic program runs through DFM, DFQ, and DFE engagement before quoting. Real engineers review prints for tolerance feasibility, material biocompatibility, finish compatibility, and inspection approach before the quote lands.
We surface manufacturability issues at print review, not at first-article rejection. That posture shows up everywhere: A named program contact through our Corporate Program Management Office instead of a ticketing queue. An engineer on the phone the same day, not three quote cycles later. Continuity from prototype through qualification through bridge production through sustained supply—the same operating model, the same people, the same documentation thread. It’s white-glove service applied to regulated medical device manufacturing. Fewer suppliers, one integrated partner, and a supply chain that absorbs complexity instead of creating it.
