General Electric Healthcare
GE came to us in 1996 with a design to create a disposable headset for guided surgery. Their original concept was a flat device that would fold to fit the head. Unfortunately it was costly and inefficient to manufacture, and did not meet performance objectives.
NT Medical’s team redesigned the unit with a single molding for the main sub-assembly; ear pieces and location pellets were then placed. This new design utilized the cost advantages of injection molding, and yielded a device with much higher accuracy.

Client’s folded-fabrication was costly
and not “manufacture friendly”
Solution:
Redesigned for cost-effective, injection
molding
Technology:
CAD/CAM, Assembly, Molding,
Validation, Packaging
Result:
Successful cost-effective, product,
supplied “ship to stock”.
