Value Engineering — The Gii Difference
The single biggest driver of cable and connector cost in medical devices isn't manufacturing overhead — it's the choice of connector itself. When OEMs default to expensive branded off-the-shelf connectors, they pay a significant price premium that compounds across every unit shipped. Gii's engineers design purpose-built custom connector solutions that meet your exact performance and regulatory requirements at a fraction of that cost. Paired with rigorous DFM reviews and material optimization on every program, that value-engineering approach is how Gii consistently delivers meaningful cost reductions for OEMs building energy-based devices — across electrophysiology, ablation, electrosurgical, orthopedics, urology, and pain management.
On the manufacturing side, Gii manufactures across its own nearshore facility in Heredia, Costa Rica and its established manufacturing operations in Asia, guided by US-based engineering — selecting the right facility for each element of your program based on capability, quality, and cost, rather than constraining you to a single location. That flexibility is a competitive advantage most contract manufacturers simply can't offer.
And while cables and connectors are always our deepest specialty, Gii's capabilities don't stop at the connector. For programs where it makes sense, we support full device-level builds — complete electromechanical assembly, PCBA integration, and finished device production — giving partners who want a single accountable team from concept through finished goods exactly that.
