From implanted Class III devices to critical systems, we deliver systems that excel in real-world clinical environments – while managing development risk and meeting your timescales. The result is better outcomes for both patients and our clients.
The future of patient monitoring
Surgical robotics, navigation and visualisation
Working at the forefront of surgical system development, our specialist teams can help you develop the next generation of robotics.
We help clients address challenges such as automation, surgical navigation, real-time sensing and visualisation, developing technologies critical to the success of your next surgical platform. Find out about our Axsis medical robotic concept, a vision for the future of surgical robotics.
Smart implants
We are revolutionising the next generation of smart, highly miniaturised and connected implants.
Our novel work in implanted antennas, wireless power technology and miniaturised electronics is combined with advanced AI, edge computing, ultra-low power telemetry and digital ecosystem design. This enables whole new therapeutic areas.
From neuromodulation and CRM to audiology and epilepsy, our world-class expertise produces implants that sit at the heart of our clients’ digital care ecosystems.

Acute care
From dialysis, ventilation and anaesthesia delivery to wireless monitoring and wearables, we bring breakthrough technologies to critical care companies around the world.
With our experience in safety-critical devices, sensors, digital services, usability and clinical workflow, we are leading the way in the development of game-changing life-sustaining and monitoring devices.
Digital ecosystems
Medical devices are no longer isolated systems and need to be connected and integrated into digital workflows.
This connectivity is now sitting at the heart of many medical platforms we develop, collecting patient specific data to perform real-time analysis. Edge computing is then used to inform and guide therapy at the point of care.
How we work
With a long track record of success in surgical and safety critical device development, we are not afraid to stretch ourselves to deliver our client’s most ambitious visions. We do it while balancing the many competing factors that influence clinical utility, performance, cost and time to market.
Our highly specialised, multi-disciplinary medical device teams have developed some of the most complex safety critical systems soon to be in clinical use. Delivering digital systems as well as physical ones, we complement our clients’ skills and provide solutions using integrated processes that are proven to speed up development and deliver regulatory compliance.
We have deep expertise in anatomy, procedure, clinical workflow and condition management combined with a thorough understanding of the broad medical device industry. This ensures not only technical feasibility but also clinical relevance and – ultimately – commercial success.

Tech, tools & facilities

Surgical innovation suite
Equipped to simulate clinical, home and office environments, this facility allows us to test concepts, evaluate prototypes and analyse workflows in a safe and confidential setting. It’s an invaluable tool for understanding and communicating the contextual implications of design decisions, while the ability to conduct quick-turnaround usability evaluations means we can efficiently progress design and development.

Anechoic chambers & body phantoms
Our three anechoic chambers with proprietary tissue modelling systems and body phantoms mean we possess world-class infrastructure for the testing and optimisation of implanted telemetry, sensing and wireless power delivery systems.

Optics labs
Our suite optics labs enable us to build complex and high-precision optical layouts, typically for testing prototype designs and novel techniques prior to deployment. Featuring six high-spec optical benches with configurable interlocked controlled areas for high-power (class 4) laser work and specialist facilities for interferometry, spectroscopy, low-noise fluorescence imaging and photon counting. This space can be split into separate laser-controlled areas, allowing multiple experiments to run simultaneously, giving our optical engineers the capability to develop creative solutions without instrumentation restrictions.

Analytical labs
Our laboratories provide high accuracy measurement and analysis for the wide range of projects we undertake. Specialist equipment includes a gas chromatography mass spectrometer (GCMS), a Matersizer particle size analyser, a Spraytec laser diffraction droplet size analyser, high-speed and thermal imaging cameras and rapid-development custom image analysis software.

Co-creation & co-working space
We are highly collaborative in our approach and provide dedicated co-creation facilities where we can join forces with our client teams to address the task in hand. Creative spaces throughout our offices provide a blank canvas for ad-hoc brainstorming sessions and planned workshops, inspiring our designers in their quest to develop impactful, unique and meaningful user experiences. During the long months of the pandemic, we raised the bar for remote collaboration by exploiting dynamic virtual environments to the full. Such experiences are now just as engaging and fruitful as face-to-face sessions.

Digital Greenhouse
The Digital Greenhouse is our purpose-built AI research facility, specifically designed to discover, develop and test machine learning approaches in a fast, secure environment. The facility features an NVIDIA DGX-1 Deep Learning Supercomputer, a bank of machine learning computers, petabyte local storage and many teraflops of dedicated compute power.

Life science labs
Our suite of restricted Class II laboratories are specifically designed for handling and experimentation of pharmaceuticals, licensed substances, biological hazards and human samples in a controlled and regulated environment. Our instrumentation rooms are equipped with metrology, microscopy and product test equipment for rigorous verification and quality assurance of prototypes and products.

Prototyping workshops
Our electronic and mechanical prototyping workshops allow us to produce technically credible prototypes that bring ideas to life and offer a powerful demonstration of their value. All while maintaining extremely high standards of quality that conform to ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and ISO 14001 regulations. Using the latest CNC and milling machines, lathes, welding gear and wire harness and cable assembly tools, we are able to produce parts very quickly and assemble full-scale working prototypes for testing and consumer trials.
