Nanosilk Fibers for Pressure Ulcer Prevention

Pressure-induced skin injuries are areas of damage to the skin or underlying tissue as a result of pressure or shear. Pressure-induced skin and soft tissue injuries are considered never events by CMS. There has been an unmet need for devices for the prevention of pressure ulcers. Recent developments in polymer-based nanofabrication shows promise...

Automated iPSC to Cardiac Muscle Differentiation

Cardiomyocytes Cardiomyopathies disrupt heart muscle function, causing irreversible, enduring issues. Current treatment mainly alleviates symptoms, often necessitating heart transplants. The specialized muscle cells of the heart, known as cardiomyocytes (CM), have limited capacity for replication and are in a terminal state of differentiation. This...

Surgical Aerosol Mitigation Tool

Aerosol Control in Adenotonsillectomy Surgery Adenotonsillectomy, a common surgical procedure performed on over 500,000 patients annually, faces a critical problem. Surgical aerosols produced by electrocautery used during surgery risk OR personnel to exposures of both toxic ultrafine particles and infectious vectors like SARS-CoV-2. Unfortunately, existing...

Device & Method for Monitoring Motor Responsiveness During Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

Background on CU5474H Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is commonly used for the treatment of movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s Disease. As part of awake DBS implantation surgery, neural activity is recorded from brain structures to aid in targeting specific anatomic regions. Features of the recorded neural activity (i.e. firing rate, waveform)...

Crimper to prepare stent for transcatheter insertion

Problem: Coronary angioplasty and stent implantation is one of the more commonly performed cardiac procedures. In the US alone, there were almost 2 million coronary stents implanted in 2021. During these procedures, successful implantation is reliant on securely crimping the stent around the balloon catheter for the appropriate vessel size while minimizing...

Automated Tracking of Fiducial Marker Clusters in X-Ray Images

The American Cancer Society estimates that 55,440 people will be diagnosed with and 44,330 will die of pancreatic cancer in 2018. An emerging treatment for this particularly lethal type of cancer involves utilizing extremely large and localized doses of radiation (stereotactic radiotherapy) to shrink the tumor and make patients candidates for surgical...

Intraocular Device for Correction of Aphakia and Restoration of Accommodation

Background on CU3886H Over 2 million cataract surgeries are performed each year in the U.S. Currently, there are 3 million patients with glaucoma in the U.S. Everyone over the age of 50 will eventually lose their accommodative ability, requiring the use of reading glasses in most individuals. There is no singular device that addresses all three...

Hitch Injector for Ophthalmic Surgery

Background on CU3336H For even incredibly skilled surgeons, suturing inside an eye is technically challenging due to space constraints. A skilled surgeon can take twenty times longer to suture inside the eye compared to conventional suturing. Millions of eye surgeries are done each year that require the securement of an intraocular object. The...

Implanted glaucoma drainage device regulator

Background on CU3038H: About 3 million people in the United States are affected by glaucoma which may lead to blindness. That number is expected to increase to more than 4 million by 2030. To decrease the intraocular high pressure characterizing glaucoma, current treatments include topical medications, laser treatments or surgery. For the most advanced...
