Case Study: Arthrex cuts document approval time from weeks to days with Adobe Acrobat DC

Medical device specialist, Arthrex, uses e-signatures instead of traditional signatures and shortens processes from weeks to days

Arthrex, a Germany‑based medical device specialist that produces extensive marketing and training materials, faced slow, paper‑heavy multistage approval workflows involving many stakeholders and FDA validation. The marketing team needed to speed up approvals, reduce manual handoffs and paper use, and integrate e‑signatures with its existing Adobe Creative Cloud processes.

Arthrex deployed Adobe Document Cloud and Acrobat DC (Send for Signature), rolling it out in four weeks with intuitive, browser‑based signing, routing, and reminder features. The change cut approval cycles from about four weeks to four days or less, streamlined document exchange and tracking, reduced material and labor costs, and centralized signed records for audits.
