From Research to Biomedical Device: A Rigorous, Certified Process
The development of home care devices begins with a crucial phase: research. At Numantec, our team collaborates closely with physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to identify patients’ real-world needs and design solutions that are both effective and safe. This development process follows a structured, multi-phase approach:
- Prototyping and testing – Initial models are developed and undergo comprehensive testing to verify their safety and effectiveness
- Certification and production – The product is industrialized in compliance with internationally recognized standards
- Distribution and training – Devices are supplied to healthcare professionals, along with dedicated training to ensure correct use in both home and clinical environments
- Customer support and feedback – Ongoing engagement with patients and healthcare providers ensures continuous improvement based on real-world experience
The result is a biomedical device that can be safely used by healthcare professionals outside traditional clinical settings, as well as by caregivers. This reduces the likelihood of errors and simplifies therapeutic management at home.
An Integrated Approach to Safer Home Care
The Numantec Group consists of diverse yet complementary companies, each bringing specific expertise to the table. This structure enables the organization to manage every stage of the process internally—from product design to market launch, while adopting an integrated and synergistic approach.
This model delivers tangible benefits for patients: it ensures continuity of care between hospital and home, enhances safety through stringent quality controls, and results in biomedical devices designed with the needs of both caregivers and healthcare professionals in mind.
Special attention is also given to the most vulnerable populations, including the elderly and individuals with chronic conditions. For them, Numantec develops practical, user-friendly solutions that can be easily used outside traditional hospital settings.
Customized Solutions for Every Type of Home Care
Numantec offers an extensive range of biomedical devices designed to effectively meet the diverse needs of home-based therapy.
Among its venous access solutions, the Midline and PICC catheters are particularly noteworthy.
The Midline catheter is ideal for medium-term treatments (typically 2 to 6 weeks), especially in patients with difficult venous access. The PICC line, a peripherally inserted central catheter, is suited for longer-term intravenous therapies and is commonly used in complex treatment protocols such as chemotherapy, parenteral nutrition, or prolonged antibiotic therapy.
The group also provides elastomeric pumps, portable infusion devices that deliver medication continuously without the need for an external power source—making them especially suitable for home care. These pumps ensure controlled, steady administration of antibiotics, analgesics, or other medications, supporting patient autonomy and reducing the need for frequent intervention by healthcare professionals.
For the manual administration of drugs and other fluids, Numantec offers both standard syringes and pre-filled syringes. Standard syringes are safe and easy to use, while pre-filled syringes add an extra layer of convenience by minimizing contamination risk, improving dosage precision, and simplifying administration, especially valuable in non-hospital environments or when caring for frail patients.
These are just a few examples from Numantec’s broader portfolio of products, all designed to support a wide range of clinical scenarios and ensure continuity of effective care outside the hospital setting.
The Future of Healthcare Is Home Care
Home care is more than just a convenient option for patients—it is a strategic and sustainable approach that brings care closer to the individual. The ability to receive advanced medical treatments at home reduces the emotional burden of hospitalization and significantly improves quality of life.
Numantec is at the forefront of this transformation, offering a range of innovative, safe, and effective biomedical devices. Developed through collaboration among highly specialized companies, these solutions bring hospital-grade technology into the home—without compromising on safety or standards.
