Caregivers are on the front lines, diagnosing disease, developing treatment plans, and delivering critical care that improves – and saves – patients’ lives. Domico Med-Device designs and manufactures intuitive patient interfacing solutions that make caregivers’ jobs easier and influence better medical outcomes.
Common Challenges for Caregivers
Caregivers across diverse medical specialties report the following common challenges.
- Patient discomfort: Patients experience pain and discomfort during imaging and procedures. Risks are amplified when patients are under anesthesia and cannot communicate
- Patient movement: Uncomfortable patients move during imaging, making it impossible to obtain high-quality images and often requiring reimaging
- Safety: Medical equipment does not accommodate patients of various shapes and sizes, risking slipping and fall hazards. Disorganized surgical cords put patients and caregivers at risk of contamination and can prolong anesthesia duration
- Inefficiencies: In many cases, multiple providers are needed to position patients safely and comfortably. During surgery, disorganized cords can impede set up and clean up and cause contamination risks that require instrument replacement, adding an average of 7.6 minutes per surgery

Examples
- Neuropad: After caregivers reported that an OEM pad was too short, we designed a full-length solution and added memory foam to the stack up for ideal patient comfort
- Breast Coil Positioning System: An imaging clinic made a significant investment in an MRI machine, but couldn’t use it due to patient pain and discomfort. We developed an adjustable breast coil positioning system that alleviates sternum pressure, enabling the clinic to use its technology and recoup its investment
- Cord Management Drape: Caregivers described how surgical cords are often a tangled mess and cause surgeons to inadvertently pull cords and instruments out of the sterile field, requiring replacement and risking contamination. We developed a cord management drape that makes it easy to organize cords, reducing contamination risks, saving time, and reducing costs
- Bariatric Table Extenders: OEM tabletops couldn’t accommodate larger patients, risking their safety during procedures. We developed a bariatric extender that widened the OEM table by four inches on each side, enabling ORs to safely accommodate large patients
