| Sumario: | Rotator cuff tears are common, affecting nearly half of the population over the age of 50. Treatment often includes surgical repair; however, healing is inconsistent. Engineers, scientists, and clinicians have been developing new surgical techniques and devices to improve rotator cuff repairs. This case study covers the medical innovation process: defining the engineering (particularly mechanical) requirements, developing a novel engineering solution, exploring the relevant regulatory pathway, and evaluating the business opportunity. |
