The challenge
Without clear positioning, even proven technology gets overlooked
Cipher Surgical is a medical technology company specialising in laparoscopic solutions. Their OpClear® platform maintains surgical clarity by preventing visual obstructions during laparoscopic procedures, directly improving patient outcomes.
But despite the clinical advantages, OpClear® needed a stronger market presence. Cipher sought to reposition and relaunch the platform with messaging, visuals, and sales materials that effectively communicated its value to healthcare professionals across multiple audiences.
Our approach
A full relaunch built around what matters to the customer
We worked closely with Cipher Surgical to understand the clinical value of OpClear® and the real conversations happening with healthcare professionals. From there, we developed a comprehensive repositioning strategy spanning four key areas, each designed to reinforce the platform's value at every touchpoint.
01
Messaging and positioning
Working closely with the team, we refined the messaging to highlight the critical role of the OpClear® sheath in improving laparoscopic procedures. This messaging was tailored for a wide range of audiences and became the foundation for all materials that followed.

Precision imagery from CAD files
We created impactful visuals that clearly demonstrated how OpClear® maintains laparoscopic clarity. Each image was developed using engineering CAD files combined with advanced image manipulation, ensuring absolute precision and clinical accuracy.
2 weeks from start to finish03
Sales materials suite
The approved messaging became the foundation for a full suite of sales materials, including global brochures, VAC packs, and interactive presentations. Each piece was carefully aligned with the visuals and core messaging to create a cohesive set of tools.

Interactive training materials
We built an interactive training resource to help healthcare professionals optimise their use of OpClear® and easily troubleshoot any issues. Hosted on a single, easy to navigate platform, it made accessing the right information faster and more intuitive.
