Patients first
Patient experience, usability, dignity and autonomy are considered throughout the development of T-Control®. Patient feedback and usability research have helped inform the evolution of the device and the way it is used.
Responsibility
Responsible innovation goes beyond the device.
Developing a medical device carries responsibilities that extend beyond the product itself — to the patients who live with it, the healthcare professionals who use it, the evidence behind it and the resources required to bring it to healthcare systems.
Our approach
Responsibility starts with how we innovate
For Rethink Medical, corporate responsibility begins with the way medical technology is designed, evaluated and communicated.
Supporting healthcare professionals
We develop training materials and educational resources to support healthcare professionals in the correct and safe use of T-Control®, while continuing to study how device design can contribute to better catheterisation workflows.
Scientific integrity
Medical innovation should be supported by evidence. We generate clinical, usability and preclinical evidence and share relevant findings through scientific publications, professional forums and congresses.
Explore our evidenceQuality and responsible communication
As a regulated medical device company, we are committed to quality, regulatory compliance and responsible communication. Product claims should remain consistent with the available evidence and the device's approved intended purpose.
Lifecycle
Environmental responsibility
Healthcare innovation also requires considering the resources used throughout a product's lifecycle. We continue to evaluate opportunities to reduce material use, packaging and environmental impact across product design, manufacturing and distribution.
Where environmental benefits are communicated, we aim to support them with appropriate evidence rather than assumptions.
Ecosystem
Growing from the Canary Islands
Rethink Medical was founded in the Canary Islands and continues to collaborate with universities, hospitals, research groups and innovation organisations in the development of medical technology and scientific evidence.
Beyond our core activity
Supporting initiatives with a wider social impact
Rethink Medical has collaborated with Worldproject, an independent non-profit initiative supporting community-led projects in Uganda.
The collaboration reflects a broader belief that entrepreneurship, knowledge and resources can also contribute positively to communities beyond our immediate field of healthcare innovation.
