Hendon Semiconductors, a division of Legend Corporation, has received a significant grant from the South Australian Government to strengthen its medical device development and manufacturing capabilities.

The grant comes from the first round of the government’s Economic Recovery Fund and is worth up to $605,561.

The move is part of a larger $1.23 million project by the company aimed at expanding medical device manufacturing capacity in the country.

The project will accelerate the development of medical products in South Australia by utilising existing equipment and integrating advanced technologies.

It will enable the production of miniaturized and high-frequency devices.

Hendon said the investment will enable the addition of cleanroom and sterilization facilities, as well as the integration of wafer processing with circuits-on-board (COB).

Using advanced equipment, Hendon accelerated development of the defence programme, reducing prototype turnaround time from 12 weeks to three days.

The company now intends to bring this innovation to the medical sector.

The grant will enable Hendon to revolutionise medical device prototyping and manufacturing in Australia.

South Australia has a thriving medical device innovation sector, but a lack of infrastructure to commercialise it often leads to production being moved overseas or technology being licensed prematurely.

Hendon’s project aims to bridge this gap by introducing solutions that are not available in South Australia, and perhaps even Australia as a whole.

In a press statement, Hendon said: “By providing a local solution for the development and manufacturing of advanced medical devices, the project will facilitate industry diversification, create high-value jobs and increase South Australia’s export potential.”

Hendon designs and manufactures both thick film hybrid and PCB based control systems for a range of industries including medical, defence and rail.
