Companies facing the regulatory, reimbursement, and political challenges that come with introducing medical technology to the global marketplace can now turn to a new consulting firm for integrated, single-source solutions. With locations in North America, Europe, and Asia, Aventor (Rome, Italy) provides services that span traditionally distinct technical fields, such as US FDA premarket reviews and reimbursement coding approvals.
"Bringing a technology to market in the twenty-first century requires more than experience in one or two individual disciplines," says managing director Daniel Carmichael. "What's required is a broad portfolio of technical competencies, integrated with sophisticated political and public-outreach skills." Aventor hopes to provide all of these diverse skills by employing professionals with years of medical technology experience. "This positions us to handle tightly targeted issues, as well as projects that are global in scope, all through a single, easily accessible portal," explains Carmichael. Some of the services the company provides include filing applications with US FDA and international bodies, designing clinical trials, submitting coding requests, and organizing patient advocacy campaigns.
