Case Study: Hover Sling™
Born from direct collaboration with an orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist with 66+ years of combined clinical experience, the Hover Sling™ was developed to solve real patient challenges in post-operative shoulder support and rehabilitation.Over 25+ design iterations and 100+ custom sling fabrications, we refined function, comfort, adjustability, and real-world usability—validated through clinical testing with 30+ patients. The result was a patented, clinically proven product that was acquired for commercialization.Disciplined engineering. Clinical input. Real-world validation.
A full lifecycle product brought from concept to market.

Meet The Founder
Nikolaj holds degrees in Physics and Mechanical Engineering, along with a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering.He has worked at:
• A VC-backed technology startup
• A mechanical and product engineering consulting firm
• Boeing, designing propulsion structural components for aircraftWhile working at Boeing, Nikolaj partnered with a surgeon and a physical therapist with a combined 66 years of clinical experience to build a new medical device. Over the next two years, they worked through 110+ prototype iterations, 130+ clinical slings, and clinical tests on 30+ patients, ultimately earning a US patent and securing a licensing acquisition deal.Thrivr Design now applies the same disciplined, iterative approach to help inventors and clinicians bring new products to life.
