A clinician removing earwax may need one hand to position the ear and the other to guide the instrument. So where does the light go? At Bionix, we put it in the instrument.
That design choice was one of the examples 13abc reporter Lissa Guyton explored when she visited Bionix in Maumee, Ohio. In the November 9 feature, Director of Product Development Cody Harder explained how putting light where the clinician is working helps keep the other hand free. It’s a small change that makes a practical difference in the exam room.
The people behind the products
President and CEO Chris Becker started at Bionix as an intern. Today, our entire product development team is made up of University of Toledo bioengineering graduates. Their work starts here in Northwest Ohio and reaches far beyond it. As Becker told 13abc, Bionix sells its products in more than 50 countries each year.
What happens before the procedure matters, too
The story also featured the ReadyHub™ Procedure Staging System. Becker used nasal foreign body removal as an example. A care team can use a procedure card to see which tools and supplies to gather before heading into the exam room.
That’s where ReadyHub fits into the OneLight™ Ecosystem. The Rechargeable Light Source powers multiple compatible instruments, and ReadyHub gives the team a place to organize them and gather what they need for the procedure.
Thank you to Lissa Guyton and 13abc for spending time with our team and sharing what’s being built right here in Maumee.
