INSIGHT Jurors may lack familiarity with shoulder anatomy, and the diagnosis of “Type 3 AC separation” does not convey the injury's severity. The challenge was to visually demonstrate that this injury requires significant force to occur, as multiple stabilizing ligaments must completely tear for the clavicle...
INSIGHT Known as CTLs or "Killer T Cells", CD8 T cells are immune cells that target and kill infected or cancerous cells. This is a process that can play out in a variety of circumstances within the immune system. IMPACT A simple, clearcut visual to explain how a...
INSIGHT Viewing an artificial heart valve when functioning in the heart provides one level of understanding, but it can be even more important to consider the intricacy of its components. IMPACT This animated approach serves as an introduction to the anatomical context and assembly of a prosthetic heart...
INSIGHT Contrast radiography is essential for medical diagnosis and can serve as powerful evidence. However, it can be difficult for non-medical experts to understand. IMPACT To assist readability for a lay audience, medical imaging was interpreted and illustrated by one of our Board-Certified Medical Illustrators and confirmed by...
INSIGHT Serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, more commonly referred to as SNRIs, are a class of antidepressant medications used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), anxiety disorders, and chronic neuropathic pain, among other conditions.

IMPACT By first setting the stage with relevant...
INSIGHT Our jury needed to understand the benefit of our client’s invention, which was the femoral delivery of an aortic stent. IMPACT Our Medical Illustrators began by illustrating the problem of degenerative mitral regurgitation, showing what a normal mitral valve looks like. They then demonstrated the difference between...
INSIGHT Using visuals to demonstrate inferior efforts by market competitors can be very effective. IMPACT Produced by our in-house, certified medical illustration team, we use animation to show how a particular medical TR Band creates an inadequate hemostatic effect, leading to pain, pressure, and compromised local nerve structure. TECHNOLOGY...
