The think tank initiative

Our Product Development and Medical Education program, Think Tank, drives innovation by working closely with medical device manufacturers and surgeons. This initiative serves three key functions:

• Delivering Impactful medical education 

We design and facilitate hands-on training, workshops, and educational programs that equip surgeons and theatre teams with the latest techniques and innovations.

• Expanding techniques within existing Indications 

We refine and advance current surgical approaches to enhance procedures and outcomes.

• Developing new medical devices 

We help transform innovative ideas into fully realised commercial products.

By integrating product development, regulatory, intellectual property, and marketing expertise, Think Tank thoroughly evaluates and nurtures surgeons' concepts, whether refining existing techniques or creating entirely new devices, to bring meaningful advancements to surgery.
