Case Study: Loop Medical reclaims 30% of engineering time and streamlines cross-border collaboration with Onshape

Loop Medical is Developing the First Painless Blood Collection Device

Loop Medical, a Swiss medical‑device startup founded by Arthur Queval, is developing a minimally invasive, needle‑free blood‑collection device aimed at simplifying diagnostics and reducing needle‑stick risks. To get the product from concept to clinic, the company needed a CAD and data‑management platform that would run natively on Macs (no virtualization), eliminate frustrating file‑based workflows across partners in Switzerland, Germany and France, and reduce heavy IT overhead that had been consuming engineering time.

Loop Medical adopted PTC’s Onshape, a cloud‑native SaaS CAD platform with built‑in data management, real‑time collaboration, granular access controls and automatic cloud updates. The move removed installs and versioning headaches, reclaimed about 30% of engineering time previously lost to IT issues, streamlined communication across distributed teams, and improved IP security—while enabling faster prototype iteration and progression toward clinical trials.
