Bone Drill Innovation Transforms the Surgical Landscape
Customer Introduction
This medical device startup was designing its first product, a bone drill for surgical applications. It did not have the necessary expertise in electronics, software/firmware, motion control, or medical devices. The company sought a partner with these skills to bring the drill to fruition.
Problem/Goal
- Lacked technical expertise in electronics, software, firmware, motion control, sensor technology, and medical devices that were crucial for developing the device.
Partner with an experienced entity to lend their expertise and aid in the seamless development of the product.
- Detecting the completion of drilling.
Implement depth-sensing and force measurements for accurate control of the drill to detect the completion of drilling and instantly halt the drill accurately and prevent damage to soft tissue.
