Elekta Esprit, a high precision stereotactic radiosurgery device, used to treat targets in the brain, such as tumors, vascular malformations, or functional disorders, has been awarded the Red Dot Award for product design in the medical devices and technology design category.

According to the Red Dot organization, its award represents global recognition of belonging to the best in design and business and the Red Dot Design Award competition has been held since 1955. The jury, comprising some 50 international experts, tests, discusses and evaluates each entry individually.

“The experience of the user and the patient is at the heart of this innovation, where design and function have been combined in a holistic, seamlessly integrated package. Although Esprit is technically complex, it is an easy-to-use solution capable of treating very challenging indications and provides life-changing results for patients,” says Susanna Francke Rodau, Senior VP & Head of Neuro Solutions.
