RUANE

Ruane's forte is research driven concept development coupled with on-site/in the field hand sketches capturing the end users immediate input, then translating/designing those customer needs & wants/deliverables into product features. Throughout Ruane's career she has not only done the industrial design on products she has developed, she has engineered numerous internal and external mechanical mechanisms and components. Such as the redesign of BD's liquid dry injection pen. Ruane designed a fold and snap together Syringe. It allows a simultaneous ratchet & hinge interaction to occur in conjunction with a lever that lowers turning a cam, which releases a preloaded spring, that forces a plunger and stoppers up inside a medicine vial. This releases a liquid that reconstitutes/mixes a lyophilized drug for injection into the human belly or thigh area. This mechanism-design changed the patient from using a crude amount of Hand Force onto a hard surface to activate the syringe, to a Cam Driven..
