Case Study

Problem: Symmetry Surgical needed a disposable drill guide with a ratcheting lever, spring-loaded handle, and mostly plastic parts—while maintaining reliability. A clear angle indicator was also required for improved user control.

Solution: HaA PD refined the design to feature robust plastic-based mechanisms, ensuring reliable ratcheting and efficient mass production. They also integrated a simple angle indicator for precise alignment. The result is a cost-effective SDG that meets single-use demands and streamlines surgical procedures.
