Bentec Medical

What Bentec Medical does

Bentec Medical is a medical-grade silicone contract manufacturer and proprietary medical device company headquartered in Woodland, California, founded in 1994. The company designs and fabricates complex silicone-based components, sub-assemblies, and finished devices for blue-chip medical device OEMs as well as selling its own FDA/CE approved surgical product line to hospitals and surgery centers. Its technical core is five distinct silicone fabrication processes — molding (including micro molding and liquid/gum injection), extrusion (single and multi-lumen up to 22+ lumens, co-extrusion, balloon extrusion, wire coating), calendering (vulcanized, unvulcanized, and hybrid sheeting), knife coating/casting, and fully automated dip coating/molding — supported by in-house tooling, custom compounding (X-ray shielding, antimicrobial, radiopaque striping), ISO 14644 Class 7 cleanroom manufacturing, and secondary operations including assembly, sterilization, and packaging. Technical differentiators include micro molding at 0.001" feature sizes with ±0.0005" tolerances, and proprietary automated environmentally controlled dip molding systems.

The company operates a dual business model. The primary revenue stream is OEM contract manufacturing sold via direct field sales to Fortune 500 medical device manufacturers under multi-year contracts, supplemented by design-for-manufacturability consulting, iterative prototyping, and FDA/CE regulatory support. The secondary stream is proprietary device sales — including ventral wall defect silo bags, silicone sheeting, silicone blocks, Penrose drains, biliary drains, T-tubes, elastomer tubing, and platinum-cured bulk tubing — sold directly to over 3,000 U.S. hospitals and surgery centers across oncology, cardiology, urology, pediatrics, bariatric, general and cosmetic surgery, ENT, and interventional radiology. Pricing is uniformly quote-based through an RFQ process, with no public price disclosure. The company markets through industry trade shows (e.g., MD&M West), outcome-based case studies, technical white papers, and regulatory/compliance documentation rather than digital or social channels.
