Creating an Innovative Surgical Tool
Advanced Surgical Tools wanted to extend a successful product line into attractive adjacent markets. Partnering with Strategyn, the company was able to discover the unmet needs of the physicians it served - enabling them to formulate a clear innovation strategy.
With idea generation focused on 21 identified unmet customer needs, AST was able to create an innovative solution – the JOC205 Couple Arc Blade. The product features a different geometry that relates to the physicians' specific, sought-after outcomes.
Knowing its customers' needs also enabled AST to simplify its idea generation process, shaving more than nine months off the original development schedule and significantly reducing capital expenditures. The new features are highlighted in AST's marketing and sales materials to strengthen the product's market positioning.
