Together, SteriPack (Lakeland, Fla.) and Morristown, N.J.-based HSD will provide design, development and contract manufacturing, integrating holistic product lifecycle management services.

HSD has worked with corporations, institutions, researchers and clinicians in designing medical devices for more than 40 years, with extensive experience in human factors design, according to a news release.
