R&D Support Packs
The R&D Support Packs give you direct access to the engineering expertise of Protomed — for 1, 5, or 10 hours.
This support can be used on any medical device engineering topic within our expertise: mechanic, material, regulatory.
We have 20+ years of experience in minimally invasive surgery.
What we can help you with
Depending on your needs, support hours can be used for:
Mechanical design review and feasibility assessment
Actuation, ergonomics, or stroke-related questions
Design trade-offs and concept validation
Early-stage prototyping strategy
Risk identification before deeper development
Second opinion on an existing design or approach
Why a few hours can make a difference
Our engineers work every day on real medical device projects, from early concepts to certified systems.
That means we can quickly:
identify weak points in a design,
challenge assumptions,
propose realistic alternatives,
and help you decide what to do next and what not to do.
A few hours of the right expertise often saves weeks of trial and error.

You’re blocked on a design choice and need a fast expert opinion
You want to validate a concept before investing more time or money
