Challenge
GI Supply specializes in gastroenterology products. Their latest technology, the Polarwand, is a cryo-therapy system used to effectively treat gastrointestinal disease. GI Supply wanted their new surgical technology to achieve three objectives: generate visual interest, be easy to use and be affordable to manufacture. |
Solution
To commercialize their technology, GI Supply's product design team, BOLT, called on the product development services of SPARK to provide mechanical engineering, systems design and CAD model-ing. The collaboration between BOLT and SPARK created an attractive and functional surgical device. |
Result
The Polarwand's large handle, casters and stable base make it easily relocated from storage areas to endoscopy suites throughout the hospital.
The Polarwand cryo-surgical is currently in FDA clinical trials.
