Ad Maiora: history and philosophy

About us

Ad Maiora has the goal to develop effective and safe surgical techniques for veterinary patients and to create tools that facilitate the surgeon’s task.

Thanks to the intellectual contribution and direct experience of the surgeons who collaborate in this development, Ad Maiora considers itself a constantly evolving reality, in an attempt to give effective answers to the problems encountered in the surgical practice.

An Ad Maiora tool is therefore the concrete realization of the ideas and the passion that animate the veterinary surgeons.

Ad Maiora history

Ad Maiora was founded in February 2013 by the intent of the 4 founding members to give a more entrepreneurial role to the design, development, production and marketing of innovative products for veterinary surgery, combining different skills.

The basic criterion is to respond to the needs of new techniques, materials and systems for a rapidly expanding sector such as that of veterinary surgery, listening to the inputs coming from the surgeons and trying to translate them into the realization of solutions, thus representing the point of union between the medical and the engineering and industrial sides.

Obviously respecting the peculiarities of the veterinary world. Collaborations on these two sides have multiplied, and currently are active several development projects, some of which led to patented products.

Know How

The ability to jointly use the many information needed to develop a surgical implant is critical to the success of the project.

The inputs and needs of medical origin must be merged into a process that includes their engineering-type analysis, which in turn leads to industrial production. Throughout the journey a close interaction is required between all the competences involved, so that each one can contribute to the overall process.

This requires contributions of a medical, surgical, engineering, material technology, processing technology, up to the prototype that then must be tested for its clinical efficacy. It is for this reason that all the figures that contribute to the process must be harmonized to achieve the goal, and that is why the products we have developed make us so proud.
