A service to provide a comprehensive consultancy service to industry and the NHS to support the design, development and ultimately the adoption and integration of sustainable, reusable MedTech devices and reprocessing services. The core services include carbon footprint analysis and independent validation, expert clinical opinion, access to technical infrastructure for real world testing, support on regulatory compliance, testing and user engagement, as well as hosting trials and pilots.

We are a trusted one-stop-shop committed to transforming healthcare sustainability, which reduces the problem of slow adoption of reusable products and medical devices by supporting innovative companies to create market ready products and processes with nationally and globally recognised expertise, credibility, and connections. Our customers will be innovative, mission-driven companies who are developing new, reusable healthcare products and medical devices. Our solution is better than existing service providers because it acts as a centralised resource offering guidance, validation, clinical access, regulatory expertise, and a networked community all under one roof.

Our Consultancy Offer

We can  provide the following services to medical device and healthcare product companies looking to create sustainable, reusable products and services  for use within the NHS:

  • Supporting companies to develop new, reusable healthcare products and medical devices to understand and navigate the complex regulatory and clinical landscape by providing access to users for design inputs, independent academic validation, connecting them with clinical and user testing opportunities and trials, and guiding them through each step
  • Supporting companies to facilitate the transition of existing healthcare products and medical devices from single use to reusable through development of regulatory roadmaps, carbon foot printing, benefit mapping  and validation, and access to clinical settings to trial and refine products.
  • Working with innovators looking to design new processes to support healthcare product reuse who are required to meet stringent standards and validation by providing expert guidance on understanding and meeting standards and validation and facilitating co-design connections with product developers to help translate this research into practice.
