Circular Stapler

Thursday, 1 October 2026

CST

CST Platform is a circular stapler designed for digestive surgery. Circular staplers join tissue and restore the continuity of the alimentary canal after part of an organ is removed. The internal supporting structure of the housing was removed to create a barrier-free head, which reduces staple malformation caused by the piston effect. The enlarged tubular casing allows more tissue to be resected in a single step. An automatic safety lock engages only when the instrument is ready to fire, and a clear bell tone confirms that firing is complete.

Pregnancy Test

Wednesday, 30 September 2026

Spoon

Spoon is a single use pregnancy test designed for home use. The form takes inspiration from a spoon, with small soft shapes and a wider surface for the handle area. All edges are rounded to give a friendly look, as the test is used in a private and emotional moment. The grip area is tilted and enlarged for better ergonomics and intuitive use. Spoon measures 130 x 25 x 10 millimeters and weighs 14 grams. The body is made of injected bioplastic to reduce the carbon footprint, and the thickness of each component is calibrated to save material.

Ophthalmic Surgery System

Vivos

Vivos redefines the surgical workstation as a platform that evolves alongside clinical ambition. Three configurations, Core, Nova, and Nova+, extend capability without system replacement, the only upgrade architecture of its kind in ophthalmic surgery. A single interface, validated at 91.7 percent first use satisfaction without prior training, reflects a design built around the surgeon rather than the procedure. Illuminated instrument connections, refined materials and restrained detailing give the device a calm and confident presence, free from the visual noise typical of the category.

Biological Cell Sorting

Saturday, 26 September 2026

Optical Sorting

Optical Sorting is an optical cell sorting system developed for biomedical research. Cells are loaded into a microfluidic chip and guided by optical-induced dielectrophoresis, which sorts the samples without damage. An imaging system records the cells, and software analyzes the images in real time to identify and classify each cell. Sorted cells are then collected for culture and further study. Tens of thousands of single cells can be handled at the same time, so positive plasma cell screening can be completed in one day. The instrument measures 60 by 80 by 170 centimeters.
