Find out more about how TRUSTECH has helped other NHS organisations and companies.
Proximat®
Proximat, a tool to measure hip range in children with cerebral palsy, was developed by two NHS physiotherapists and offers significant advantages over the traditional goniometer. TRUSTECH helped to register the design and trademark then negotiated a licence agreement with a company through which the NHS receives royalties.
GraftBolt®: ACL tibial fixation device
When Manchester orthopaedic specialist Martyn Snow invented a device to reduce the failure rate of knee operations, TRUSTECH helped him to develop the product and commercialise it. The work of TRUSTECH and its partners in bringing GraftBolt® to market won them a national award for collaboration.
RehabAngel®
This rehabilitation tool allows patients to build strength in their legs and ankles through controlled exercise, and is also ideal for athletes. TRUSTECH helped to guide it through the development stages and negotiate a licence agreement. The device was launched by Olympic triathlete Vanessa Raw at a physiotherapy conference.
Needlesmart
Needlesmart has developed an electronic device which safely disposes of used sharps. It aims to reduce needlestick injuries and cut costs by replacing sharps bins. TRUSTECH carried out market research to help the company assess users’ opinions and identify the correct market. As part of the NHS, TRUSTECH was ideally placed to access expert opinions from clinicians.
VitaloJAK Cough Monitor
Coughing is the most common symptom for which patients seek medical advice yet until recently there was no accurate way to measure coughs. TRUSTECH advised on the development of the VitaloJAK™ which went on to win an NHS innovation award.
SAGE & THYME training package
Dealing with cancer patients requires not only medical expertise but also good communication skills. This three-hour course provides NHS staff with basic training on how to deal with patients suffering emotional distress. It was developed by Macmillan nurse Michael Connolly with assistance from TRUSTECH.
