Cureous Minds is developing a brace for pectus carinatum that allows for patients and clinicians to know the precise pressure the brace is being worn at, which is necessary for effective treatment of the condition. Existing braces include no measurable outcomes which reduces patient compliance and brace efficacy, and our brace solves these shortcomings. This modified brace will be calibrated by the clinician during patient visits and allow for the patient to adjust the brace at home so that it is being worn at the correct pressure. This solution will allow for a more accurate way of correctly wearing the brace on a daily basis for the patient and in turn lead to curing the condition on the patient’s chest.

Femi9 Medical is developing a device that delivers low-frequency vibrations to external vaginal muscles as a method of muscle relaxation prior to pessary removal for women experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction. With pessaries being inserted into the vaginal canal to support the pelvic floor and organs, there is a need for a more comfortable method to remove pessaries. This device aims to reduce bacterial and fungal infections due to prolonged pessary use as well as instances of surgery from vaginal tissue damage by allowing for muscle relaxation prior to removal. This would increase comfortability in using pessaries and increase the pelvic floor dysfunction relief rate by decreasing the pessary abandonment rate.

FlexForward is developing a user-friendly device that provides real-time feedback of knee joint angles for patients recovering from a total knee replacement. With precise measurements displayed on a conveniently positioned screen, patients can easily track their progress. Featuring adjustable straps for a secure fit on knees of all sizes, the device ensures comfort and stability. Physical therapists set up the device in-clinic to ensure proper positioning throughout weeks 2 to 8 of rehabilitation. This innovation helps patients meet their range of motion goals and reduces the risk of missing prescribed milestones, promoting a more effective recovery process.

MedVolve Solutions has developed a promising safety solution with the CauteryNet device. By addressing a specific surgical hazard – the instance of perioral burns during tonsillectomies – the CauteryNet can greatly improve patient safety by reducing risks associated with monopolar electrocautery devices. This innovative technology interfaces with the electrocautery device, its power and conductive surgical equipment and introduces an emergency shutoff mechanism that activates in the event that the electrocautery wand comes in contact with conductive surgical instruments. This quick response can prevent burns or other serious injuries that may occur due to unintentional electrical conduction. This device aims to enhance surgical safety, improve surgical efficiency and ensure patient trust.

With opioid overdoses on the rise, we aim to develop an auto-detect and -inject system for rapid intervention. The system will use electrophysiological sensors to detect overdose events based on thresholding algorithms. If an overdose is detected, the device will automatically administer Narcan via an injection module. A companion app will provide real-time health tracking, overdose history, and an emergency alert system to call 911 when necessary. This integrated solution ensures timely intervention, potentially saving lives by automating overdose detection and response.

Tri-Tek Medical is developing the Tri-Tek TriClamp™, an innovative surgical hemostat designed to occlude the three aortic head vessels during normothermic regional perfusion (NRP). NRP is an emerging organ procurement technique in which blood is circulated throughout the donor's body using a VA-ECMO machine. To ensure no blood is delivered to the brain, it is essential to occlude the aortic head vessels–specifically the left subclavian, left common carotid and brachiocephalic arteries–thereby promoting optimal organ vitality. Currently, there are no specialized clamps available for NRP, and the Tri-Tek TriClamp™ is being developed to address this critical clinical gap.

Triple R seeks to develop solutions in the ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) space. Specifically, we aim to develop methods to improve the initiation of the connection between patient vascular access cannulae and oxygenation tubing, in order to reduce the rate and volume of air introduction into the patient. This will be accomplished via the construction of a novel connector device capable of facilitating the connection between cannula and tubing quickly and with minimal opportunities for introducing air. This will hopefully improve patient outcomes on ECMO, increasing its promise as a treatment for cardiopulmonary diseases such as ARDS and Heart Failure.

WolfMedX is developing a Near-Infrared Visualization Advanced Node Analysis, or NIRVANA. NIRVANA is a fluorescent detection device for lymph node tumor localization. Our device detects indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence throughout tissue and translates this detection into a quantitative numerical value that will be displayed on the probe for real-time surgical guidance. Unlike traditional bulky laparoscopic imaging systems, NIRVANA can be seamlessly integrated into preexisting endoscopic tools, robotic surgical systems, or handheld devices to provide a holistic picture to the surgeon while removing surgeon subjectivities from visual tumor identification. By reducing reliance on visual interpretation, NIRVANA enhances surgical accuracy and minimizes complications during lymphadenectomies, ultimately promoting smoother patient recovery.

The Wolfpack Biominds is developing a uterine manipulator, the medDia, which is designed to reduce the risk of surgical complications during laparoscopic OB/GYN procedures by supporting abdominal insufflation. Current uterine manipulators on the market do not provide enough closure in the vaginal canal to maintain insufflation of the abdomen, which is key for proper visualization of the surgical area for the surgeon. The medDia is designed to address this issue with a novel balloon shape to improve the seal in the vaginal canal, decreasing the chance of air escaping from the abdomen. The balloon is attached to a cable-driven system with additional features that will help a surgeon perform a laparoscopic hysterectomy with ease.
