Build technology around a real surgical need.

Clement’s clinician-led innovation platform asks how technology can help more suitable women preserve the breast, avoid unnecessary re-operation, understand their choices and recover with better quality of life.

01

REBORN

A digital patient education innovation designed to explain oncoplastic reconstruction and support clearer treatment conversations.

02

Margin assessment

Intra-operative technologies intended to identify cancer at the specimen edge and address re-excision after breast-conserving surgery.

03

Surgical devices

Low-thermal electrosurgical development focused on tissue effects in breast-conserving and oncoplastic surgery.

Industry collaboration areas

A translational test bed for breast conservation.

Real-world validation pathways

Clinician-led translation

From unmet need and early validation to implementation in real clinical pathways.

01

Define a meaningful patient or workflow problem

02

Co-design with patients and multidisciplinary clinical teams

03

Generate the evidence appropriate to the technology and claim

04

Test usability, integration and implementation in context

05

Translate responsibly with academic, A*STAR and industry partners

For medtech partners

New tools must be evaluated for safety, usefulness, workflow fit and clinical value. Innovation does not guarantee improved outcomes.

Breast conservation is a platform for clinically meaningful translation.
