Medical device specialist Grena wins Red Dot Design Award for surgical clip
International medical device specialist Grena
has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot
Design Award for its polymer ligating clip
Click’aV Plus™ with judges citing the product’s
ergonomic design, user friendly nature and
safety features amongst the reasons for the
award.
Dr Andrzej Decewicz, Co founder of Grena’s
flagship products, said: “At first glance, it
might seem that design does not play a role
when it comes to medical equipment. However,
it matters a great deal because people feel
better when surrounded by beautiful products.
This also applies to medical staff and patients.
The judges of the internationally recognised
awards also commended the product for its
significant contribution to waste reduction
and cost savings for hospitals during medical
procedures.
Placing them in an environment full of welldesigned objects helps to improve their
wellbeing.
Family-owned Grena, which is headquartered in
Nottingham, UK has over 35 years’ experience
in the market, successfully developing and
producing medical instruments that support
surgeon comfort and improve patient safety.
The now award-winning Click’aV Plus™ surgical
clip features innovative micro teeth, which
guarantee the clip’s stability during surgery
even under high blood pressure, and is the
largest size available on the market, allowing
even large tissue structures to be closed
during surgery. The patented design also
ensures the clip can be used for both open and
endoscopic surgery.
Konrad Brodaczewski, Vice-President of Grena
said: “Winning the Red Dot Design Award is
confirmation that what we do works and has
been recognised not only by doctors but also
by design experts. We compare our Click’aV
Plus™ to ‘ABS’ in your car – it works as usual in
an everyday setting but saves lives in difficult
cases, and we are all immensely proud that
this innovative product is the recipient of a
Red Dot Award.

during surgery
“When developing our medical devices we
look not only at the product but first and
foremost at the human being – both the
doctor and patient. We skilfully combine
ergonomics with a design that guarantees
comfort for the surgeon and safety for the
patient and are constantly looking for the
most environmentally friendly solutions.
“By focusing on evolution, not revolution,
we can meet the needs of specialists and
consistently improve equipment that helps
save lives.”

“Good design means great ergonomics.
Instruments used by medical staff must
support the treatment of patients and
guarantee maximum comfort and convenience
for medics. The better the ergonomics of
medical devices, the smoother and safer
medical procedures will be.”
