Inside the “Made Here” Orthopedic Manufacturing Ecosystem w/ Travis Christman-Priority Medical
In this episode, Mitch sits down with Travis Christman, a respected operations, regulatory, and quality leader in the orthopedic manufacturing world. Travis has spent his career across Zimmer, Medartis, Nextremity, and now Priority Medical, an end-to-end engineering services organization operating from the orthopedic capital of the world — Warsaw, Indiana.
Travis shares details on a major industry event launching December 18th: The “Made Here” Manufacturing Showcase — a first-of-its-kind, hands-on demonstration of the full orthopedic supply chain ecosystem that exists in northern Indiana.
You'll hear:
- Why Warsaw remains the global epicenter of orthopedic innovation
- What OEMs don’t see — but need to know — about today’s supply chain pressures
- How contract manufacturers can accelerate lead times, nearshoring, and production readiness
- Where the biggest growth trends are emerging (AI, robotics, navigation, additive, pre-op planning, and more)
- How Priority Medical is serving as a connector across surgeons, OEMs, contract manufacturers, and local talent
This is a must-listen if you’re involved in: orthopedic product development, contract manufacturing, supply chain, engineering services, regulatory/quality, or OEM commercialization planning.
