Giltech, a technology company based in Ayr on the West Coast of Scotland, has been at the forefront of controlled delivery and biodegradable technologies since it was founded in 1984. Giltech's initial focus was in the medical device area, where it has had a number of successes with wound care and urology products. Most notably, Giltech achieved international recognition through the successful development of Sorbsan, a wound dressing which is still marketed throughout the world.nGiltech is developing and customising its technologies to the stage where a particular product can be launched or subjected to commercial evaluation. To support this process the company operates its own in house development, engineering, computing and analytical facilities. Giltech has also invested in facilities to manufacture and process its own water soluble glasses, which aims to help protect the company's intellectual property in this area and provide ongoing support to the company's commercial activities.

NIR Diagnostics is developing a diagnostic device to quantitatively assess the progress of the wound healing process. Per the company, the device has the potential to be a more accurate, more rapid, and less expensive method of wound assessment compared to those currently on the market.

Aksys has developed an automated personal hemodialysis system for patient-performed hemodialysis in alternative care settings such as the patient's home.

The resources necessary to transform a medical device concept into a commercially viable reality are enormous. Appropriate funding in addition to Food and Drug Administration ( FDA) experience, engineering and rapid prototyping are essential in order to have any reasonable chance for success. To this end, SpringMed Group is a medical device business accelerator that has been designed and organized around core competencies that will substantially improve the development time line and successful launch of new and medical devices.

L.I.T. Surgical (formerly known as Alpha Med-Surge) is a medical device company that has developed a patent-protected, head-mounted surgical headlight that surpasses the current industry standard to meet the critical needs of surgeons throughout the world. The L.I.T. Surgical design aims to deliver a cooler, brighter light through the combination and collection of light from multiple LEDs, and the direction of that light through sophisticated optical geometry. This results in a highly efficient "white light" that aims to enable the user to view the working field and identify structures with unparalleled clarity and definition.
