This high-performance orthopaedic support is used in intensive knee treatments including total knee replacement. The product is easy to fit, offers a wide range of motion and is supportive and controllable enough to ensure the safe and progressive rehabilitation of patients.
De Royal, a US medical device company specialising in wound care & orthopaedics, approached Synecco looking for a design solution that would not only improve the efficacy of their product, but importantly would deliver valuable IP for them to enable their growth within this sector.
The key to our re-design, and the source of its new robust IP, was the intuitive and accurate ROM (Range of Motion) dial and the novel push-button height adjusters.
Thanks to our collaboration, the Warrior went on to reinvigorate the company’s product range and strengthened its IP portfolio, putting the company back in a leading position in a highly competitive market.
This project presented a real challenge to the creativity of Synecco’s usability, mechanical engineering and process engineering teams as it required the delivery of a novel usable mechanism within a a sector that is tightly constrained by IP barriers. Not only did Synecco resolve the ROM (Range of Motion) mechanism but also optimized the length adjustment mechanism, making it more effective and more intuitive.
