As part of this collaboration, Dräger is expanding its research and development presence by establishing a new Offshore Development Center (ODC) at Tata Elxsi's facility in Pune.
The ODC will focus on developing innovative critical care medical devices for both local and international markets. This partnership combines Tata Elxsi's design and technology expertise with Dräger's expertise in medical and safety technology.
The development center will unite talent from both organizations, dedicated to designing and developing innovative critical care medical devices for deployment in the Operation Theatre (OT) environment worldwide. The ODC provides a comprehensive critical care equipment testing facility, equipped with medical-grade gases, compressors, and oxygen cylinders to create a test environment that meets the demanding requirements of the OT setup.
