Nitinol development and commercialization experience built over decades.
Emerging Components helps medical device teams move Nitinol programs from concept through prototype, proof of process, transfer, and commercialization.
Led by Steve Parmelee
For more than 25 years, Steve Parmelee has helped medical device companies transform Nitinol concepts into commercially viable products.
His experience spans the full product lifecycle — from concept development and prototyping through process development, validation, manufacturing scale-up, supplier strategy, and commercial production.
Through Emerging Components, Steve supports teams developing Nitinol implants, delivery systems, wire forms, laser-cut components, electropolished parts, and shape-set structures where manufacturability, transfer readiness, and commercialization strategy matter.
