with our surgeon-centric
innovation program.
how it works
SDC offers a white glove service for developing and monetizing your next big idea. We can work on a fee for service basis, or as a partnership for select projects. Many factors are considered for eligibility, but a short introductory meeting is how we like to begin.
Our goal is to understand your clinical problem and create a plan to de-risk and accelerate the design and development process for you.
from me to we
The days of DIY inventing in orthopedics are long gone. You need an experienced partner and team that can guide you through the process to maximize your value and increase the chance of commercial success.
Our in-house group of product developers and our broad network of professionals allow us to assist at every step. Whatever stage you’re at with your ortho development project, we’ve got your back.
featured inventions
Sliding suture construct
A renowned surgeon inventor came to us with a novel concept for a new modular soft tissue reconstruction concept. We assisted with design, sourcing and product testing. The product is currently in licensing discussions and SDC is supporting the pitch and technical transfer.
Miniature screw holding
Small screws, particularly in CMF and neuro procedures, are a challenge to handle and pose risks to the patient and provider. Our client was a sales professional that had witnessed this problem too many times. We developed a broad application instrument for handling and delivering miniature bone screws. Currently in licensing discussions.
ultimate provisional fixation
As a technical leader in orthopedics, this client discovered a recurring complaint about provisional bone and plate fixation. Clamps, olive wires, plate tacks, etc. all presented unintended consequences and other shortcomings. We reimagined provisional fixation and helped invent the next generation of guide-wire based fixation.
