Medical Footswitches & Foot Controls
To deliver medical footswitches that meet your specific requirements at a competitive price point, it’s often advantageous to start with a standard Linemaster Switch design. This approach allows for modifications that align with your brand while still meeting the exacting specifications of medical grade foot controls. Leveraging a proven standard design through a Product Line Extension offers several key advantages:
- Speed up your product development timeline as many tests and reports are pre-existing
- Decrease costs as volumes on standard products are higher
- Decrease lead times on your product as standard parts are more likely to have shorter lead times and to be stocked
If a fully custom design via a PD/PCP is what you are looking for, Linemaster Switch has a wealth of experience in turning your ideas into a finished product that you will be proud to showcase with your console.
