Project flow chart

Finetech Medical is interested in hearing from potential partners for future collaboration projects. Our areas of expertise include:

Design, development and production of long-term implantable inductively coupled devices.
Sterilisation procedures.
Approval requirements.
Flexibility to be able to produce one-off devices within a clean room environment.

We have been involved in several high-profile European collaboration projects over the years including:

Healthy Aims

Animation of STIMuGRIP ® system

EU Framework VI project involving 26 partners, including 6 SMEs, across 9 EU countries. Aim was to develop a range of medical implants to help the ageing population and those with disabilities. Amongst the major outcomes of the project was the completion of initial clinical trials of the STIMuGRIP ® system.

TUBA

Transceiver and Inertial Unit for Biomedical Applications

The main focus of the project was to develop three microsystem components; namely: an inertial unit, a planar transmitter / receiver and a sensor / feedback control capability for use within a dropped foot stimulator (STIMuSTEP ®).

IMPULSE (M181)

Improved Mobility through imPlanted fUnctional eLectrical Stimulation of nErves

The MedLINK project objective was to develop and trial a novel, 2-Channel, implantable stimulator to enhance locomotion in patients with a dropped foot, a chronic condition experienced especially by patients who have suffered a stroke.

IMPULSE (E!2526)

Improved Mobility through imPlanted fUnctional eLectrical Stimulation of nErves

EUREKA! IMPULSE project involving 7 partners, including 4 SMEs, from The Netherlands and UK. The project focused on further developing and trialling of the novel, 2-Channel, implantable stimulator to enhance locomotion in patients with a dropped foot that was developed within IMPULSE (M181).

MedLINK P192

Neuromodulation through the sacral nerve roots for control of lower limb spasticity in spinal cord injury

MedLINK P192 involved 3 partners, all from the UK. The project aimed to modify existing Finetech-Brindley bladder implants in order to provide a novel treatment for spasticity through the use of neuromodulation.
