I was practicing at a medtech company in high school and the team really wanted to conduct tests in China, since the best product testing would be to shoot live pigs from a cannon into a concrete wall for treatment with the device afterward.
To my knowledge it never happened, because adhering to local ethics requirements would be better for seeking investments. But I also think the company went under because of lacking real world results in the limited trials that could be done.
- dasanman 8y agoHoly shit dude.
- _Schizotypy 8y agoI have to ask, what the hell was the treatment and what was it for exactly?
- tapland 8y agoIt was a device for use in trauma patients (car crashes being the most common use case). So that's what they wanted to test, and it is an unsafe procedure for trials, requiring sedation and risking the health of the patient, but possibly increasing positive outcomes in real cases. I don't feel comfortable outing the company.
