Case Study

Remedy® DriGo-HP™

About the Work

Medline Industries, the largest privately held distributor of medical supplies in America, offers a comprehensive portfolio of products for surgical solutions, front line care, and laboratory and diagnostics. Medline's skin health team recognized an underserved patient population that needed an antibacterial wicking sheet that could guard skin and wick moisture away from skin-on-skin friction. Medline turned to Build by Boyd to help identify and source the fabric, develop coating, converting, packaging manufacturing processes, and scale up and sustain the long-term manufacturing of the product, which would become known as Remedy® DriGo-HP™.

Process Development & Validation

The Remedy® DriGo-HP™ product launch required the team at Build by Boyd to finalize the product and packaging specifications, design and procure custom tooling, and develop and validate the manufacturing processes. This required close collaboration with the coating solution manufacturer, fabric manufacturer, and Medline to develop and validate multiple manufacturing processes. The team at Build by Boyd also developed a packaging solution that would maximize the product's ease of use and functionality while simultaneously meeting competitive cost requirements.

Our Work

Manufacturing

After our Process Development & Validation work, the team at Build by Boyd successfully launched Remedy® DriGo-HP™. We scaled up manufacturing to produce a large inventory build, which was necessary to support the product launch. After a successful product launch, our operations team transitioned the manufacturing operation into regular production campaigns. At scale, the team has completed process optimization programs to meet material yield and productivity requirements and streamline our packaging processes. Through our strong partnership with Medline, the team at Build by Boyd was able to establish a manufacturing operation that ensures reliable product quality and a competitive cost of goods sold. Ultimately, supporting Remedy® DriGo-HP™'s adoption and growth.

CUSTOM CONVERTING

The Remedy® DriGo-HP™ fabric is a stretchy wicking fabric that requires a custom coating process and a custom converting process with low-tension tooling. We developed, installed, and validated the coating process and the low-tension tooling to support commercial manufacturing. 

CUSTOM PACKAGING

We created a custom packaging solution to maximize the product's ease of use and functionality while simultaneously providing a competitive cost of goods sold.

Our Work

Supply Chain Management

Remedy® DriGo-HP™ is made from a moisture-wicking fabric and a proprietary antibacterial solution. Our supply chain management team collaborated closely with the Medline team in the early stages of the program to identify and source materials and then work with suppliers to develop and validate their manufacturing processes. As we approached product launch, the team at Build by Boyd worked with Medline to gather demand forecasts and ensure an adequate pipeline of raw materials. The supply chain management team works closely with suppliers to manage raw material quality and yield and ensure on-time delivery. Our team also supported Medline's business continuity initiatives by qualifying alternate material sources. With the establishment of the commercial manufacturing operation, the team at Build by Boyd owns and manages the suppliers and procurement procedures to support ongoing production and future growth.
