Our Services
Looking for something specific?
We provide a mix of services to support you in developing your medical device or combination product. Our specialty is in integrating the technical, regulatory, and commercial aspects of your product, helping you develop a strategy that gets your innovation to patients, and to implement that strategy hands on
Our commonly used services are listed below, but please get in touch for something specific
Strategic or hands-on development support
With you every step of the way as a trusted and effective part of your team, leading you through the complex healthcare journey.
Our specialty is helping you shape and implement your holistic technical-regulatory-commercial strategy.
We also help support specific elements of the journey, including:
Target Product Profile, product-market understanding and fit
Regulatory strategy and implementation (EU and US)
Quality management system implementation
Clinical evaluation plan and report
Technical development, experimental planning and execution, verification and validation
Advanced Therapy Combination Products
Advanced therapies - including biologics, gene therapies, and cell therapies - need a new combination product approach.
All too often these powerful but sensitive treatments fail to live up to their potential, due to negative interactions such as sorption, aggregation, or denaturation.
These interactions lead to reduced efficacy and a worsened safety profile, meaning unexpected clinical failures, reduced reimbursable value, and limited patient benefits.
We help organisations in to address these issues, optimising the holistic performance of the drug and device components of a combination product, allowing them to operate as a unified therapeutic system, and delivering their full potential for developers, patients, and society.
SMEs and corporates must work together to bridge from innovative idea to clinically validated and adopted product
We support SMEs and corporates to better understand each other, and effectively partner across organisational boundaries.
This creates better defined, targeted, qualified, and implemented projects for co-development, licensing, or acquisition.
Key areas we help with include:
Cross boundary understanding and translation
Alignment of goals and definition of success for best outcomes
Cross boundary team selection and optimisation - hard + soft skill focus
Technical, regulatory, and operational due diligence
Management of co-creative working across teams
