Rapid, responsive, and active dissection insertion device for large-bore chest tubes
Unmet Need Tube Thoracostomy, a critical procedure for removing fluids and/or air from around the lungs to restore breathing, has a high complication rate of 30%, with complications increasing cost by up to 21x. This…
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…
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…
A system for securing intraocular lenses during cataract surgery and other applications where sutures create challenges
Unmet Need Suturing is a common method to close wounds and fixate devices. However, due to the inherent physical constraints of the intraocular cavity, forming knots within the eye to affix hardware or repair damaged…
A system and method for planning radiosurgery treatments that can better target multiple tumors simultaneously
Unmet Need Brain metastases are the most common neurological complication of primary cancer and are estimated to occur in 9-17% of all cancer patients. Radiosurgery has become a standard treatment technique for brain metastases, which…
