The Challenge
In the operating theatre, control isn’t arrogance. Surgeons operate under immense pressure, where a single mistake can cost a life. Yet, when it comes to post-op care, too many hand over control the moment the incision closes. Smith+Nephew wanted to change that and spotlight PICO, their single-use negative pressure wound therapy system that helps ensure optimal healing after surgery.

The Idea
Leave Nothing to Chance – a bold, creative platform revealing the mindset of modern surgeons. Cut like a sports campaign, The film draws parallels between elite athletes, dedicated professionals, surgical mastery all through a shared heartbeat. Defined by focus, control and the relentless pursuit of perfection.

The Work
A high-impact film blending cinematic footage, bold typography, and multi-voiceover storytelling. Each voice unpacks the inner dialogue of professionals who refuse to compromise and strive for the best right up to the final moments.

The Impact
The campaign positioned PICO as more than a postoperative tool; it became a symbol of professional confidence.
