Case Study

Rapid Product Improvement Through Prototyping.

Our customer needed a prototype to critique an idea they had for an improvement to their product. The customer was rapidly approaching a design freeze but the idea potentially offered them an advantage in the market. They came to ICS Medical Devices looking for a fast-turn, low-budget prototype to evaluate the idea and allow them build some data to bring into the design decision making process. Our team ran some quick trials and tests using on-hand materials, and after a quick onsite review with the customer to re-define some specifications based on initial observations, we fabricated prototypes and presented to the customer along with engineering data and options for future improvements. This was completed within 2 weeks. Our customer successfully integrated the design improvements we suggested, thus improving their product and their opportunity for success in the market.

Turning Time Pressure into Product Advantage.

Facing a tight design freeze, our customer approached ICS Medical Devices to quickly evaluate a potential product improvement that could offer a market advantage. Working with available materials, our team conducted rapid trials and an onsite review to refine specifications. Within two weeks, we delivered functional prototypes along with engineering data and improvement options. The customer successfully integrated the enhancements, strengthening both product performance and market potential.

High Performance Shaft Solution.

ICS Medical Devices partnered with a neurovascular innovator to develop a high-performance shaft for their next-generation aspiration catheter used in stroke intervention. Leveraging advanced braiding and extrusions, ICS engineered a solution that delivers superior trackability, torque control, and kink resistance. The shaft design supported successful clinical trials and regulatory milestones, contributing to the device’s rapid progression toward commercialisation.
