Boston Scientific Galaxy IVUS Cart

The Design Challenge -

Prior to this system, medical intravascular ultrasound lacked human-centered innovation, relying on bulky electronics racks stacked on generic utility carts that consumed valuable floor space in crowded cath labs.

Design Period: c. 1995–1997

The Design Solution -

The solution introduced a unified vertical architecture defined by a sweeping organic form that seamlessly transitioned the control panel and monitor mount into the rear handle, creating a cohesive 3D object. Featuring integrated storage for cabling and the pullback device, smooth easy-clean surfaces, and a compact fold-down display, the cart delivered single-handed ergonomics and effortless maneuverability.
