As well as rebranding Wego's suture packs, IDC devised a clever new packaging design to improve dispensation and ensure suture threads would remain straight and tangle-free.
Traditional designs incorporate a needle and thread within a folded paper system, whilst newer and more costly options use a plastic track to encourage faster dispensation. IDC's product design team worked together with in-house engineers and model makers to research and test a design which drew on the notion of a plastic tracking system, whilst avoiding the negative points discovered during the research and development stage.
IDC's research revealed several issues with top end products currently on the market; the basic packaging had suture thread wound into a figure of eight and folded inside a paper envelope - this meant thread could tangle at inopportune moments, particularly when using monofilament thread which often curls during use.
