"A product’s intrinsic design is one of the critical elements in its commercial viability." Taking a medical device from concept to commercialisation is no easy feat. We supported start-up Avasys Medical Technologies by optimising the user experience and design for manufacture of their innovative Central Venous Catheter (CVC) system. Our approach focused on: • 𝗜𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: rapidly advancing the concept to a proof-of-principle model that optimises user experience and design for manufacture • 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘀: designing a low-profile hub that can be comfortably secured under a sterile dressing, minimising disinfection procedures • 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: creating a clear ‘sales pack’ to communicate key product features to potential partners and investors Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/dSSh3pd

How is Inceptiv™ with closed-loop technology different? Melissa Murphy, MD, MPH explains, “with closed-loop we can have instant automatic adjustment from moment-to-moment based on the patient’s activity to provide a more consistent delivery of stimulation.” So, patients no longer have to think about it. Patients can feel confident they will be able to get MR imaging† if they need it, as well. As Krishnan Chakravarthy M.D., Ph.D puts it, “Medtronic stands far and above their competition in terms of consistency and access for their patients to the best quality MRI [conditional]† devices.” Watch the video to hear more from these pain intervention leaders about how the Inceptiv™ closed-loop system works and why these experts see this as a transformational moment in their field.
