Surgical devices
The future of surgical technology.
As specialists in robotics and minimally-invasive surgical devices and systems, our team is here to solve your complex technical and usability challenges for a smoother path to clinical trial and commercialization – helping you enhance surgical precision and patient comfort, and reduce recovery times.
Partnering to advance cutting-edge surgical solutions.
Our team has extensive experience of developing user-centered surgical devices and systems that meet demanding functional and regulatory requirements, are designed with the surgeon’s needs in mind, and deliver better outcomes for patients.
All the specialist surgical device capabilities you need, in one team.
As our understanding of treating disease evolves, the need to achieve precision and consistency in surgery has increased. The challenge is often to reduce the scale and size of the device being deployed.
The breadth of our in-house technical capabilities ensures we consider that device’s full requirements, including mechanism and assembly design, modality of use (including electrosurgery), consistency of use in a challenging environment, material selection, as well as the impact of sterilization.
Our on-site prototyping team develops prototypes to rapidly test the validity of any innovation solutions at an early stage of the design process, smoothing the way to clinical trial and commercial scale-up.
Meeting the needs of clinicians undertaking complex, intricate procedures.
Whether a surgeon is using a surgical robot or is more hands-on, their understanding and interaction with a device or system is key to the success of the procedure, particularly in time-pressured situations.
Understanding the clinical setting, anatomy and the roles of the different users interacting with a device is key to ensuring it is intuitive and comfortable during use. Working with real users from the very beginning of your product development reduces risk (in line with ISO62366) and ensures optimal device performance for the user.
Connected devices and AI.
To enhance performance, our surgical systems must be compatible with all the appropriate systems within the clinical ecosystem. Connectivity requirements therefore have to be an early development consideration. As the use of AI in surgery also evolves, whether linked to imaging or treatment, we utilize our wealth of experience in Software as a Medical Device, electronics and service design to support our clients in developing services that advance technology.
