Research & Development

Efficient product development process

In an environment that is constantly changing we anticipate market changes and new customers needs with great accuracy. A finely tuned product development process planned in great detail underpins our innovation strength. Interfaces are precisely defined and resources bundled. This enables us to achieve faster lead times, react selectively to market opportunities and guarantee an attractive «Time to Market». 

The «Robocheck» research model

In order to be able to assess the cleaning effect of toothbrushes as holistically as possible, TRISA has developed a robot-based, high-tech research facility in cooperation with specialists from the University of Bern. A six-axis robot is able to simulate different cleaning movements and techniques. Analyses and an evaluation of the test results are achieved automatically. 

Intellectual property...

We consider it important to protect intellectual property. TRISA makes great efforts to protect all innovations and new products. TRISA maintains its own legal department, which is supported by external patent attorneys. More than 1'000 national and international property rights count among our intellectual property.

Scientific cooperation

We are in close contact with science. Our many years of cooperation with globally leading university institutes is particularly intensive in the area of dental medicine. Topics and projects surrounding oral health are driven forward in a partner-like manner. Scientific meetings with representatives from Swiss universities are conducted on a regular basis. Together, we discuss the latest challenges in dental medicine research. 

Specialists & Associations

We conduct regular exchanges with practising dentists and dental hygienists. Findings from their day to day experiences with patients are incorporated in our 
deliberations and products. Cooperation with specialised committees and professional associations involved in oral care also has a long tradition at TRISA. These associations promote oral care awareness in broad sections of the population.
