Balance and control
TeesuVac are developing a new efficient handheld untethered single-use automatic vacuum-assisted biopsy gun, for taking precise core biopsy samples of tissue, which on examination by pathologist can help detect diseases and to which extent they have developed.
MJID was asked to assist with Industrial Design development based on a preliminary mechanical design. Working in close collaboration with Teesuvac, we assisted in optimizing the mechanical configuration in reaction to our learnings from ‘form, weight and interface’ models.
Functional with consideration
The solution needed to provide reliable user interface performance and yet also project a perception safety and simplicity. The nature of talking biopsies is confronting enough for the patient, so we went to great lengths to minimize the trauma of the experience by giving the device a rounded and non invasive form and finish.
Knowledge through testing
User interface testing models and ‘procedural’ test rigs help us to gain valuable knowledge. Interviews with surgeons helped us to gain valuable input regarding various design ideas and considerations.
