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 ...

GenMark Diagnostics

In 1993, a novel technology was invented by a team that included Jon Faiz Kayyem, PhD at The California Institute of Technology (CalTech). This invention combined nucleic acids and microelectronics to produce an electronic sensor for DNA detection. His invention was based on electrical detection of nucleic acids on a cassette based detection platform. Dr. Kayyem went on to found Clinical Micro Sensors, with the goal of translating this “eSensor” technology to disposable chips. Following several acquisitions of the technology, Dr. Kayyem became actively involved again in 2009, returning as an investor and then as CEO and Chairman of the Board. In 2009, a collaboration between Dr. Kayyem and Christopher Gleeson began. The two redefined the company strategy, and brought in a new board of directors, executive leadership team, and commercial management. In 2010, the company known at that time as Osmetech, was named GenMark Diagnostics and listed on NASDAQ. Mr. Gleeson remained an integral part of GenMark`s growth in the years that followed, serving as Chairman of the Board until his retirement in 2014. Dr. Kayyem currently serves as SVP, Research and Development.

LED Medical Diagnostics

LED Dental traces its roots back to the mid-1990s, when company founder Peter Whitehead began performing oral cancer research in conjunction with the British Columbia Cancer Agency (BCCA). In 2000, Peter and a fellow BCCA researcher were awarded patents for groundbreaking technologies they developed for detecting oral cancer. Peter ultimately formed LED Medical Diagnostics Inc. and it operating subsidiary, LED Dental, to focus on the advancement of these technologies. LED Dental, in concert with the BCCA, ultimately co-developed the patented VELscope® Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System, a tissue fluorescence visualization technology that received FDA and Health Canada clearance in 2006. Since then, there have been more than 12,000 VELscope Vx systems sold globally, and they have been used to perform more than 25 million oral examinations worldwide. In early 2014, LED Dental entered the dental imaging market in response to the explosive growth in dental CAD/CAM and the shift away from film-based systems to faster, more efficient and higher quality digital imaging solutions. We serve a previously unmet market demand for "open architecture" digital imaging technologies and we are rapidly growing a comprehensive portfolio of state-of-the-art offerings to meet this demand. Guiding our growth is a management team comprised some of the best minds from both the clinical and business sides of the dental industry. Drawing upon their decades of collective experience, they are identifying target technologies and product lines for our portfolio; building and managing our operations and sales teams; and developing a streamlined chain of communication that enables us to listen closely and serve the needs of our customers - and, in turn, enabling these clients to best serve their patients.
