Sustainability Without Sacrifice
Spherical offers a little something for everyone. From safety and workflow benefits for clinicians, to storage and inventory advantages for supply chain teams, to process improvements for quality and infection prevention. Combined with potential system-wide cost savings and a significant reduction in plastic use, Spherical demonstrates that sustainability and practicality can go hand in hand.
Simplify your Workflow
Single piece lid and base, fold and snap. Never dig around for mismatched sets again. Innovative roll stand bracket provides additional security/tamper resistance and is backwards compatible with existing rigid disposable canisters.
Five Dimensions of Value
Lower Total Cost
Up to ~50% reduction in material usage. Reduced RMW disposal, freight, and storage costs. System-level savings, not just unit price.
Waste & Sustainability
Significant plastic reduction per procedure. Lower RMW contribution. Directly supports hospital ESG and sustainability commitments.
Clinical Workflow
Ready-to-assemble design eliminates missing components. Fastersetup. "It was easy to put together… two seconds."
Enhanced Safety
Stronger spherical geometry improves structural reliability; mitigates the risk of reflux/leaks. Supports infection control compliance.
Logistics Efficiency
50% more units per pallet. Reduced warehouse & storeroom footprint. Fewer deliveries, less handling, lower freight frequency.
pHASE OF dEVELOPMENT
Functional Prototyping Complete
Full working prototypes have been built, iterated, and tested against performance benchmarks. Further design optimization has been completed against multiple injection molded prototype designs.
Validation Testing Complete
Engineering and quality validation testing has been completed internally, confirming structural and functional performance.
Clinical Pilot: Next Step
Clinical pilots across 5–10 sites will generate the data needed to drive procurement decisions at scale. Demonstrate hospital pull, document systemic savings, present evidence based demand to GPO’s.
