Tata Elxsi and Dräger, a global leader in medical and safety technology, have announced a collaboration to advance critical care innovation in India. As part of this collaboration, Dräger is expanding its research and development presence by establishing a new Offshore Development Centre (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 along with Dräger's expertise in medical and safety technology. 

The development centre will unite talent from both organisations, dedicated to designing and developing innovative critical care medical devices for deployment in the Operation Theatre (OT) environment worldwide. This central hub will oversee all aspects of critical care product development, from conceptualisation to product design, prototyping, and testing. The ODC provides a comprehensive critical care equipment testing facility, which is equipped with medical-grade gases, compressors, oxygen cylinders to create test environment, to meet the demanding requirements of the OT setup. 

Looking ahead, there are plans for expanding the critical care portfolio. By harnessing cutting-edge technologies, the new ODC is set to play a pivotal role in crafting innovative healthcare equipment that addresses the evolving needs of patients and healthcare providers globally.
