The final assembly composed of a reusable section represented in blue and the disposable sections represented in gray. For simplicity, the complete drive shaft shown in black extends beyond image.
Philips aims to improve medical devices by minimizing cost and complication. We were tasked with redesigning an existing Philips pacemaker lead extraction device with a focus on sustainability. Our design separates the device into reusable and disposable sections that can be easily disassembled, sterilized and reassembled between procedures, in order to save time, reduce waste, and minimize cost.
