Apex Medical Technologies

What Apex Medical Technologies does

Apex Medical Technologies, Inc. is a privately held, closely held corporation founded in 1985 and headquartered in a 12,000 square-foot facility in San Diego, California. The company specializes in custom dip molding of thin-wall, non-latex elastomeric components for medical device OEMs, with wall thicknesses ranging from 0.001 to 0.075 inches and a product catalog spanning catheter balloons, stent covers, probe covers, bellows, bladders, tubes, diaphragms, condoms, gloves, drapes, dental dams, and tissue collection bags. Its proprietary Hi-Touch™ line of synthetic polymers (thermoplastic polyurethane, synthetic polyisoprene, silicone, and natural rubber latex) combined with proprietary curing technology enables accelerator-free, nitrosamine-free, and low-protein component production addressing Type I and Type IV latex allergy concerns, with the company holding FDA listing as a Medical Device Manufacturer and ongoing FDA QSR/GMP compliance.

The company operates a B2B enterprise sales motion through a dedicated business development department, providing services from concept and contract R&D through tooling design, prototyping, GMP contract/OEM manufacturing, cleanroom dip molding and assembly, packaging, labeling, and QC inspection. Customer segmentation is primarily vertical — medical device companies are the dominant end market — with secondary stated exposure to Aerospace, Electronics (dip coating on substrates), and Consumer Products. A separate sub-brand, ApexFertility.com, sells fertility products directly using internally manufactured dip molded components. Revenue is generated primarily through custom quote-based one-time license and professional services engagements, with no public pricing and no disclosed funding or institutional investment.
