"Outsourcing clinical services is a cost effective approach for medical device companies and enables them to access a wide range of skills. We assessed a number of contract research organizations and selected Pleiad as our preferred provider of clinical research services. This was based on Pleiad's expertise in running clinical trials for medical device companies and their flexible and proactive approach to product development and commercialization. They provide valuable support to our clinical, regulatory and commercial teams."

"We selected Pleiad to run our clinical trials in the UK and USA because they were responsive, efficient and understood our needs. Pleiad has been very helpful in assisting us interpret the data, which we will ultimately publish to assist our marketing efforts. We have taken two approaches with Pleiad: one was to contract out a whole study from design to reporting and the other was to use selected services such as data management and analysis for another study. Both approaches have worked equally well."

“Pleiad supplied our company with high-quality and professional clinical assistance and worked in close partnership during key phases of our device development program. They successfully achieved a key project objective, which was to demonstrate the clinical applicability of our new technology and to assess that new technology in relation to existing devices. Specifically, Pleiad’s independent clinical expertise was able to generate a scientifically objective report by applying an evicenced-based analysis to hundreds of medical publications. The overall quality and thoroughness of the final clinical literature review supplied to us was excellent and that assistance formed a significant part in achieving an important business objective for our company.”

"Pleiad helped design clinical studies for our novel laryngoscope devices. They have also worked with us to scope out the potential market for this device in Europe and the USA. We have found their flexible and supportive approach extremely valuable. We now interact with Pleiad on an ad hoc basis to obtain advice on all things clinical, as we move through the commercialization phase for our Series 5 laryngoscope device." Director
Trauma & Surgical Equipment Company

"The Company was formed to commercialize a surgical invention - a novel endovascular device. We needed to access opinion leaders in North America and Europe in order to assess the device's potential attractiveness and to obtain input on its design. Pleiad helped us to find the right people to talk to and to formulate the appropriate questions. They facilitated the meetings and wrote the market assessment report that was provided to our potential investors. Pleiad was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the process and took the project to heart."

“We have found that Pleiad offers a type of service that is particularly customer friendly, iterative and interactive. This suits us as we are a small company and often lack the internal critical mass for constructive internal debate. We have not seen this elsewhere. In preparing proposals, Pleiad staff took effort to understand the particular circumstances of OUR project and we had the feeling of a genuinely bespoke service unlike some other providers who very much appeared to offer what amounted to a standard off-the-shelf package. At all the meetings Pleiad staff took great care to read the dynamics of the 'home team ' and through this to draw out underlying issues to ensure that what was delivered was the best solution to the problem (within budget constraints) and was acceptable to all parties. As projects progressed there were steady levels of feedback to the client between formal milestones and this feedback, being interactive, sometimes led to project changes to achieve more valuable outcomes. Again The Pleiad style differed from others who took no account of the specifics of the individual project, were not interactive and in effect delivered a standard product strictly in line with the original specification. More than anything Pleiad were always genuinely enthusiastic about our project and seemed to become personally committed in some way during our interaction. Often this has followed on with interest being expressed long after their involvement has concluded.”
