International medical device specialist Grena has been awarded a Red Dot Design Award for its polymer ligating clip, the Click’AV Plus, with judges citing the product’s ergonomic design, user-friendly nature and safety features as reasons for the award.
The judges commended the product for its significant contribution to waste reduction and cost savings for hospitals during medical procedures.
Family-owned Grena, headquartered in Nottingham, UK, has over 35 years of experience in the market, developing and producing medical devices that support surgeon comfort and improve patient safety. We do.
Now the award-winning Click’AV Plus surgical clip features innovative micro-teeth, which guarantee the clip’s stability during surgery, even under high pressure, and is the largest size available on the market, allowing larger tissue structures to be captured during surgery. Also allows shutdown. The patented design also ensures that the clip can be used for both open and endoscopic surgery.
Konrad Brodzewski, Vice President of Grana, said: “Winning the Red Dot Design Award is confirmation that what we do works and has been recognized not only by doctors but also by design experts. We liken our Cliq’AV Plus to your car’s ‘ABS’ – it works normally in everyday settings but saves lives in tougher cases, and we are all extremely proud that this innovative product has been recognized by the Red Dot Award.
“When developing our medical devices, we look not only at the product but first and foremost at the human being – both the doctor and the patient. We skillfully combine ergonomics with a design that guarantees comfort for the surgeon and safety for the patient and are constantly on the lookout for the most environmentally friendly solutions.
“By focusing on development, not revolution, we can meet the needs of experts and continually improve the tools that help save lives.”
Dr. Andrzej Desiewicz, co-founder of Grana’s flagship products, said: “At first glance, it may seem that design does not play a role when it comes to medical devices. However, it makes a lot of sense because people feel better when they are surrounded by beautiful products. This also applies to medical staff and patients. Keeping them in an environment filled with well-designed items helps improve their well-being.
“Good design means good ergonomics. The equipment used by medical staff should aid in the treatment of patients and guarantee maximum comfort and convenience for physicians. The better the ergonomics of medical equipment, the more comfortable and safer medical procedures will be.”
