Medical Design Excellence Awards - 2007 WinnerDefinitive Design accepts Medical Design Excellence Award for their design of the Full Life Pilot™ Walker. 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Langhorne, PA (June 20, 2007) Definitive Design (www.definitive-design.com), a full service product development firm, was honored as a Medical Design Excellence Award (MDEA) winner at the Medical Design and Manufacturing East 2007 Conference and Exposition in New York City on June 13th, 2007.

The award honored Definitive Design and their client Full Life for the design and engineering of the Full Life Pilot™ Walker. The Pilotä Walker is a revolutionary mobility aid designed to meet the needs of a variety of patients with mobility challenges.  It is engineered to incorporate larger wheels for ease of mobility, a built in seat for resting, and a second set of handles to help the patient rise from any seat using less arm strength. A built in receiver holds accessories including an I.V. Pole and the Pilot™ Reacher (so the patient does not have to bend over to pick up items or stretch to reach items on a shelf).  A removable basket and a storage pouch allow the patient to have easy access to his or her material needs. The product’s width and handle design facilitate the use of any standard sized toilet, eliminating the need for external grab bars or help. It can be employed in any setting that offers handicap accessibility and conveniently folds allowing it to be stored and transported with ease.

Attending from Definitive Design were Craig Hidalgo, President; Dave Reed, Senior Engineer, and members of the Definitive Design sales and marketing team.  Also in attendance were members of Full Life Products, including Craig Karasin, CEO; Robert Popek, VP of Product Development; and Karin Gustafson, Director of Marketing.

“The ceremony turned out to be a real success commemorating on many innovative designs and we would like to thank everybody who took the time to attend,” said Craig Hidalgo.
