Scapa Healthcare, a trusted strategic outsource partner of skin-friendly, turnkey solutions, has unveiled three R&D Centers of Excellence. Each Center offers full turn-key development services, extensive design and engineering expertise and state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies to help customers bring innovative products to market rapidly.
 
Located in Knoxville, Tenn.; Orangeburg, N.Y.; and Ramsbury, United Kingdom; the Centers of Excellence have proven capabilities delivering full turnkey solutions. Each Center features state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities, R&D labs, specialized engineers, scientists and program managers to drive each program from development to manufacturing to commercialization in an efficient, controlled and expedited manner.
 
The programs are managed through a structured, lean and effective product lifecycle management process, ensuring that all products delivered to market are under full compliance.

Beyond product development, Scapa Healthcare can assist with regulatory services including building technical files, stability studies, sterilization validation, product registration and post-market surveillance.
