Hospital and Surgical
Meeting the needs of complex hospital environments
Our understanding of the challenges of the hospital environment combined with our experienced approach to identifying and engaging with the needs of medical professionals and patients early in the product development process is key to the success we have delivered for clients in this area. Ease and intuitiveness of use, together with hygiene, safety, efficiency, robustness, and cost-sensitive manufacture are often key areas of focus.
Our rigorous product development process delivers creative and effective solutions for our clients, with design decisions underpinned by an appropriate level of evidence. Ranging across sustainable and effective packaging for daily hospital consumables, through to next generation radiotherapy equipment for cancer treatment, we offer proven development teams able to engage with projects of all sizes and complexity levels.
Equipment for patient-care settings
Our wide-ranging experience in hospital equipment design reflects the complexity and diversity of the modern medical care environment.
Balancing the needs of healthcare professionals and the opportunities and constraints of clinical environments, with patient needs and a sensitive consideration of the use context, is key for developing successful products for modern patient-care settings.
Some examples of our work in this field include: disposable sharps bins, award-winning castors for hospital beds and trolleys, dispensing packaging for surgical gloves, negative pressure wound therapy machine design, equipment for macerating bed pans and highly advanced machines for particle beam therapy. All are designed to function efficiently and effectively and to improve the patient and healthcare professional experience and enhance the quality of care.
Advanced therapy systems
Working with global leaders and pioneering startups, we have supported strategic developments for a wide range of radiation therapy systems. The combination of our world-class design, usability, research and technical teams has delivered multi-award-winning projects for clients such as Elekta and Leo Cancer Care, helping to redefine the future of cancer care, seeking to help improve the quality and duration of life for the millions of people diagnosed with cancer each year.
Creating the future of cancer treatment
Surgical Instruments
From tibial jigs for knee joint replacement to a Medical Excellence Award-winning system for cardiovascular surgery, our work includes high-volume disposables, reusable instruments and implant systems for surgical use.
We have designed products that help to improve safety and reduce the time required for common surgical procedures, we have applied emerging technologies to niche surgical areas and have helped to develop innovative products for operating theatres of the future.
Each project is led by one of our dedicated team of medical device experts, who provide the knowledge and strong project management skills that are essential to success. We follow a rigorous development approach, with an emphasis on evidence and identifying and managing risk throughout the process, ultimately aiming to enhance efficiency and safety, decrease recovery times and improve the overall patient experience and throughput.
Anaesthesia and Respiratory
Our work in this area includes anaesthetic gas detection meters, regulators and filters of many kinds, as well as a range of highly successful respiratory measurement equipment.
Two significant examples of our design and development work in respiratory measurement are a leading printer-spirometer and a state-of-the-art, handheld device for airway resistance measurement for paediatric and elderly patients not able to co-operate with normal respiratory tests.
With an experienced multidisciplinary team, we offer a considered development process that is designed to efficiently deliver robust, market-leading products, in a structured, transparent and risk-managed way.
