International medical device specialist Grena has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Design Award for its Click’aV Plus surgical clip. The awards are among the more prestigious prizes in the field of industrial design, and have been given by the German Design Zentrum since 1955.
Grena management said judges cited the product’s ergonomic design, user-friendly nature and safety features amongst the reasons for the award. The judges of the internationally recognised awards also commended the product for its significant contribution to waste reduction and cost savings for hospitals during medical procedures.
The surgical clip features micro-teeth which guarantee stability during surgery even under high blood pressure – and is the largest size available on the market, allowing even large tissue structures to be closed during surgery. The patented design also ensures the clip can be used for both open and internal surgery.
