Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Compliance with Sterilization Standards

    Ensure adherence to ISO 13485 and local sterilization norms; non‑compliance can lead to product recalls.

  • Raw Material Price Volatility

    Fluctuations in cotton and polyester prices can squeeze margins; lock in bulk contracts where possible.

  • Market Saturation

    The bandage market is crowded; differentiate via quality certifications or niche wound‑care products.

  • Cash‑flow Management

    High upfront inventory and slow payment terms from hospitals can strain liquidity; maintain adequate working capital.

  • Skill Gap in Sewing & QC

    Hiring skilled technicians and QC staff is critical; invest in training to avoid defects.
