The handle had to deliver consistent vacuum quality, stay comfortable in the therapist's hand through long sessions, be gentle on the patient's skin, resist treatment fluids and repeated cleaning, and integrate with the existing control module. Production had to be possible on demand, in small batches.
An ergonomic, weight-balanced handle with single-button vacuum control, a soft-edged vacuum cup and rollers that distribute pressure evenly across the skin. The design is modular and built for disassembly, so it can be serviced and updated, with tamper detection to protect the service model.
