Key takeaways 

  • Dave Rezac, who leads sales for Resonetics’ AGILE Product Development services division, joined the company through its 2021 acquisition of Distal Solutions, the engineering design consultancy he founded. 
  • Resonetics is a leading Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) in the medical technology sector. The company’s end-to-end model pairs its AGILE Product Development group (engineering and manufacturing support across all development phases) with its Lightspeed Labs team (rapid prototyping and process development) to compress customer timelines from prototype to finished device. 
  • The AGILE Product Development engineers work with many start-up and other fast moving medical device companies. 
  • A key differentiator is the Lightspeed Labs model, where customers run in-person “lab days” to iterate rapidly on prototypes (dozens of iterations in a single day) instead of relying on slower remote back-and-forth. 
  • Resonetics has recently signed a deal to acquire Resolution Medical, expanding its design, development, engineering, finished device, and sub-assembly capabilities to deliver integrated, end-to-end solutions across the medical technology product lifecycle for the interventional, structural heart, and neuromodulation markets.   
  • Rezac cites strong internal retention and mobility (the first voluntary departure from his original team came 18 months after the acquisition) as evidence of a successful cultural integration and Resonetics’ ability to develop and retain top talent. 
  • Medical technology startups must maximize every funding round and market opportunity by advancing products quickly and efficiently. With a proven track record of success, Resonetics helps shorten development cycles through on-demand engineering, rapid prototyping, and vertically integrated manufacturing.
