Improved Usability Design Definition
Situation
Veranex was tasked with rapidly redesigning a urethral injection system interface for SUI treatment, addressing significant usability concerns from a previous design to achieve a functional proof of concept.
Successes
- Delivered two refined concepts, a detailed prototype design, and final functional prototypes with preliminary biocompatibility analysis, all within a 12-week timeline.
- Successfully redefined the injection scheme and developed a new device interface with precise urethral length adjustment and an intuitive adjustment feature.
- Engineered critical safety interlocks for needle deployment, preventing movement if not correctly positioned and ensuring injections occur at a safe distance from the bladder.

COG Reduction Design Strategy
Situation
Client partnered with Veranex to support a redesign of their women’s health hemorrhaging device to reduce COGs and allow them to distribute to lower income markets.
Successes
- Initial alignment through criteria definition and prioritization showed the design team the top considerations for the design’s were speed to market and reduction of COGs.
- The concept down-selection workshop resulted in 2 system concepts that shared similar components to reduce COGs, ease of manufacturing, and streamlined a development pathway to get to both systems to market faster.
- In house silicone 3D printing capabilities, allowed the team to quickly iterate and assess designs to deliver proof of concept data 4 weeks ahead of schedule.
