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.

testimonials

We have worked with SDC for the last year.  The attention to detail that the team provides has been exceptional.  They have a transparent, value-driven approach that every client should want.  They most certainly are not an echo chamber. 

They challenge assumptions and help guide the process through evaluation of the value proposition and voice of customer feedback.  If you have an idea in the orthopedic surgery space, go early to SDC. 

Have them pressure test your idea and strategize for a thorough evaluation of your idea's merit.  Once it passes the muster, go for it.  With confidence you will know that SDC can deliver on your aspirations to get your idea to market with a realistic timeline and a product that will be patient-focused and market ready. ”

“I have worked with SDC on several projects over the last few years.  The team has been extremely valuable in the development process of my new device ideas.

They understand the innovation process and have established a program with excellent engineers, to help turn ideas into devices.  

SDC creates quality prototypes that have allowed me to test, modify & refine developing ideas.  A functioning prototype & further developed concept is invaluable for licensing or funding a start-up company.  

The Surgeon Design Center has my strongest recommendation.”
