Rapid, responsive, and active dissection insertion device for large-bore chest tubes
Unmet Need Tube Thoracostomy, a critical procedure for removing fluids and air from around the lungs and heart, has a high complication rate of 20% due to the technical skill required and anatomical differences between…
Non-invasive method to predict rates of post-operative cognitive problems
Unmet Need Older adults are at a higher risk of cognitive dysfunction after surgery, with postoperative delirium (POD) being the most common disorder. POD is characterized by inattentiveness and is seen in 70-80% of intensive…
Zwitterionic-coated surgical mesh to minimize intra-abdominal adhesions
Unmet Need Four million abdominal surgeries are performed annually in the United States. Abdominal adhesions, or fibrous bands that bind tissue together, represent a significant postoperative complication occurring in >50% of patients undergoing abdominal surgery.…
Optically transparent model kidney for surgical simulation
Unmet Need Surgical simulation is an important step in medical training. It is particularly critical for training in the urological field, which had 144 residency programs in 2023. Lithotripsy, a surgical procedure to treat kidney…
Long extra-corporeal arterial sheaths and catheters for coronary angiography and intervention
Value Proposition Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) such as angioplasty and angiography can be performed for therapeutic as well as diagnostic reasons. Over 20 million angiography and 10 million angioplasty procedures are projected to be performed…
A method for end-to-end spatial accuracy quality assurance for radiosurgery
Unmet Need Radiation therapy is an essential element of cancer treatment that benefits 4 million diagnosed patients every year. The ability to deliver complex three-dimensional distributions of dose that conform to even irregularly shaped lesions…
Implant for identifying sites of seizure onset in the brain
Unmet Need In the United States, epilepsy affects 2.2 million people with 150,000 new cases each year. Between 14.6% and 36.3% of people who suffer from epilepsy have forms of epilepsy that are not controllable…
Augmented Reality for Neurosurgery
Unmet Need Approximately 30% of the 3.5 million epilepsy patients in the United States struggle to control seizures despite receiving existing treatments. These patients often undergo neurosurgery to help alleviate their symptoms. Surgical planning involves…
Feature-Guided Image Fusion of Intrasurgical Optical Coherence Tomography and Digital Surgical Microscopy
Unmet Need Eye surgery is a high-impact intervention necessary to preserve the sight of thousands of patients, with retinal detachment surgeries alone constituting approximately 28,000 cases per year in the United States alone. Microscope-integrated optical…
Laser surgery targeting and guidance system
Unmet Need Lasers are frequently used in surgery, particularly in dermatology and oncology, to excise harmful tissue from the body. However, due to the difficulties in guiding laser surgical instruments, these tools may fail to…
Adjustable tubular retractor for brain surgery
Unmet Need In 2018 the Journal of Neurosurgery estimated that there were 22.6 million patients globally suffering from neurological disorders, with 13.8 million of them requiring surgery. During intracranial operations concerning aneurysms, tumor extractions, and…
Memory-efficient deep learning algorithms for computed tomography image reconstruction
Unmet Need Using high resolution images such as computed tomography (CT) has become a popular tool to guide medical interventions from radiotherapy to dental implantation. The market for CT services is expected to grow from…
