The Stellartech Advantage
Key to Coronis’ model is its ability to leverage its relationship with Stellartech Research Corporation, a company founded 28 years ago by Roger Stern. Coronis has a unique partnership with Stellartech, which is a demonstrated leader in the design, development and contract manufacturing of sophisticated medical systems. Stellartech provides device start-ups with a wide range of services including research, design, development and manufacturing of sophisticated medical systems, typically involving both capital equipment and disposables. Since its inception, Stellartech has helped nearly two dozen companies in their efforts to develop their proprietary technology, everything from catheters and ultrasound devices to RF and Doppler X-ray generators–technology which has fundamentally defined these companies and created their markets. Stellartech also offers a number of advantages to small companies seeking speed to market such as platform technologies that can be quickly adapted and a team of regulatory experts that can help its clients file 510(k)s and IDEs and work through other regulatory issues.
