One of the world’s leading medical technology companies came to Berg with a need for a special linear bearing to be used in a high-precision neuroendoscopic tool.

Challenge: Achieving High-Precision Articulation in Limited Space

The client faced a problem identifying an off-the-shelf product that met its performance requirements in a tight package design.

Neuroendoscopic instruments are used to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures and treatments inside the brain or spinal cord via a small incision. As such, neuroendoscopes and other neuroendoscopic tools specify a very limited diameter for the working channel and require functional flexibility to ensure smooth insertion and effective manipulation.

Solution: Custom Linear Bearing

Berg engineers worked closely with the client’s team, sharing knowledge and best practices to identify and design a customized solution others could not provide. Berg technical experts designed and built a solution to the client’s specifications, which led to the development of a new customized linear bearing that exactly matched the performance needs for this important tool. 

Success in this effort has led to thousands of endoscopic tools being used to provide comfort for patients around the world.
