Summary
Timothy Limon is a seasoned medical device engineer with over 30 years of experience designing, validating, and bringing surgical and interventional products to market, including robotic instruments and the world’s first commercial PLLA coronary stent. He has led and grown multidisciplinary teams at companies like Intuitive, Guidant, and Abbott Vascular, balancing hands-on mechanical design (SolidWorks, MIM, injection molding, CNC) with program and regulatory stewardship (GMP, IDE/PMA familiarity). Timothy excels at turning complex clinical needs into manufacturable solutions—developing tooling, test fixtures, DOE-based validations, and JIT production optimizations that reduced cost and time to market. Notably, he combines deep materials expertise in bioabsorbables and stent mechanics with practical shop-floor experience, an uncommon blend that accelerates prototype-to-production cycles. Now retired in Old Lyme, he brings rare institutional knowledge in implantable device development and a track record of IP generation and regulatory-ready design control.
