Contego Medical, founded in 2005, has developed a family of novel emboli protection devices. The main feature of each device is that the treatment portion (i.e., balloon or stent) is on the same catheter as the embolic protection device, thus coupling the two together. This device can act as an angioplasty balloon with an integrated emboli protection device. If a stent is mounted on the balloon, it can serve as a stent with an integrated emboli protection device. We know that embolization occurs with all angioplasty and stenting procedures. It is usually hard to predict which ones will result in clinical ...

Shockwave Medical

Shockwave Medical is revolutionizing the interventional treatment of advanced cardiovascular disease by developing technology that targets calcified plaque. Inspired by 30-years of safety and efficacy in kidney stone treatment, our Intravascular Lithotrispy family of catheters delivers localized lithotripsy at the site of cardiovascular calcium that enables gentle balloon dilatation of calcified, stenotic arteries. IVL catheters use sonic pressure waves to preferentially impact hard tissue, disrupting calcium, while leaving soft tissue undisturbed. An integrated balloon catheter then dilates the calcified lesion at low-pressure, restoring blood flow. In peripheral vascular clinical study of moderate and severely calcified lesions in 95 patients, IVL demonstrated safety and consistent procedure success with low procedural complications. The technology is inherently familiar, easy to use, operates with just the push of a button, and works with existing cardiovascular treatments. And because it is built on a traditional balloon catheter platform, it integrates seamlessly with clinicians` existing workflow.

Bioject

Bioject Medical Technologies Inc. is a leader in the development of needle-free injection therapies with over 25 years of experience improving the administration of liquid medications; pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and biologics. Bioject's technology works by forcing liquid medication at high speed through a tiny orifice held against the skin. This creates an ultra-fine stream of fluid that penetrates the skin, delivering medication in a fraction of a second. Bioject's systems are designed to deliver injected medications comfortably, accurately, and quickly - without the use of a needle. Bioject was founded in 1985 to develop needle-free injection systems to improve the comfort and safety of routine injections. From its early work focused on improving the characteristics of these delivery systems, the Company has created a broad technology platform for delivering a wide range of medications and vaccines to the subcutaneous, intramuscular and intradermal depths. Bioject has developed a portfolio of injection systems based on its core technology, the foundation for which is more than 80 issued and pending patents and an extensive body of technical know-how. These include durable devices designed for heavy use in a professional healthcare environment, and small, lightweight injectors designed for home use. With partners, Bioject is also developing inexpensive, pre-filled, disposable injection systems. Further validating its technology, Bioject and its partners have the largest volume of published studies using needle-free injection technology systems. Bioject's strategy is to form strategic partnerships with pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and animal health companies. The result is mutually beneficial agreements with these partners to develop customized injection systems to enhance the delivery of their injected medication or vaccine. Bioject has alliances with leading pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and animal health companies. Bioject's products are also used in public health, Physicians offices, and in cutting edge biomedical research at leading institutions around the globe.
