The catheterisation of male patients is difficult and frustrating for urologists and, after years of contemplation, busy surgeon Ian Middleton decided he would help tackle the situation. Partnering with the Medical Device Partnering Program enabled Ian to develop a working prototype of his medical device and he is now seeking a catheter manufacturer for a pathway to production.

In his latest publication, Ian discusses the arduous process of patent acquisition - which is vital for innovation – and expresses his appreciation to the MDPP team for supporting and guiding him through the commercialisation pipeline.

Thanks for your kind words, Ian. We have enjoyed working with you!
