Creanova S.r.l. is an Italian medical technology design, engineering, and contract manufacturing company headquartered in Como, Italy. Operating since 2004 as part of the Creagroup, Creanova provides end-to-end medical device development from initial user ergonomics through industrialization, tooling, and cleanroom production.
A core differentiator of Creanova is its early integration of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) in the medical product development lifecycle. By assessing draft angles, shrinkage rates, parting lines, wall thicknesses, and resin behavior before cutting steel, the company avoids costly tooling rework and reduces unit production costs for electromedical devices and IVD equipment.
- Certified to ISO 13485:2016 for medical device design and contract manufacturing
- Certified ISO 14644 controlled environment cleanrooms
- Official provider in the European Innovation Council (EIC) Service Catalogue
Creanova delivers integrated engineering, industrialization, and medical contract manufacturing services:
- Design for Manufacturing (DFM) & Moldflow Analysis: Detailed DFM assessments for plastic parts, part shrinkage estimation, draft angle optimization, and injection flow simulation to avoid air traps, weld lines, and sink marks.
- Medical Industrial Design & Engineering: Human-factors design, mechanical architecture, mechatronics integration, 3D CAD modeling, and rapid prototyping.
- Tooling & Mold Development: Steel injection mold manufacturing, validation, and pilot sampling within rapid lead times (typically 6 to 8 weeks for custom tooling).
- Contract Manufacturing & Assembly: Plastic injection molding, cleanroom assembly under ISO 14644 standards, PCB assembly management, system integration, and Device Master Record (DMR) compilation.
- Regulatory & Validation Support: Verification and Validation (V&V), CE mark compliance, and documentation in accordance with FDA 21 CFR Part 820 and EU MDR 2017/745.
