With clients ranging from major research universities to artists, from
industrialists to inventors, Tackle Design Inc is unified by the pursuit of elegant solutions and a commitment to quality workmanship.
Our areas of accomplishment range from solutions for improving cardiovascular surgery to refinement of aerospace manufacturing processes to concept development and prototyping for consumer electronics devices.
Tools for Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery (MIRS)
Robotic systems have become the state of the art in many types of
surgical procedures, allowing the surgeon to perform complex operations
through small, fast healing incisions. Tackle is a member of an
interdisciplinary team of NIH funded researchers at NCSU developing retraction and fixation tools
for MIRS procedures. Our involvement has included creativity training
for team members, concept development and prototyping work as well as
participation in surgical trials.
The Open Prosthetics Project
Tackle has launched The Open Prosthetics Project
to create useful and innovative prosthetic devices and fully publish
our designs for anyone to use, customize, or improve on. By
substituting public good for profits, we believe that we can generate
far more societal benefit than if we commercialized and sold our ideas.
We are currently developing several novel prosthetic concepts and
seeking funding from donations and grants.
