TherOx, Inc. (TherOx) is a private, venture-financed medical device company based in Irvine, California, dedicated to elevating the standard of care for treatment of heart attack patients. A heart attack is caused when an artery in the heart becomes blocked. Current treatment of heart attack is to reestablish blood flow in the blocked artery as quickly as possible. Typically, this is done with a combination of medication and a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) which may include the placement of a (intracoronary) stent. PCI successfully restores blood flow, but damage to the patient’s heart remains. Blood flow in the microvasculature downstream from the blockage is compromised, and critical heart muscle tissue is damaged – or infarcted – due to oxygen deprivation brought on by the heart attack. The intent of SuperSaturated Oxygen (SSO2) Therapy from TherOx is to salvage damaged heart tissue by placing a high concentration of oxygen (~760 – 1,000 mmHg, or 5 – 7 times normal levels) into the patient’s blood plasma and delivering it directly to the area impacted by the heart attack. SSO2 Therapy serves as a complement to PCI and stenting. Immediately following the interventional procedure, proprietary technology from TherOx mixes a pre-specified concentration of “SuperOxygenated” saline solution with the patient’s blood to produce SuperOxygenated blood. The SuperOxygenated blood is then delivered through a catheter to the oxygen deficient tissue. Company research has confirmed in clinical studies that SuperSaturated Oxygen Therapy has the potential to reverse ischemia and may resuscitate tissue that may otherwise die. SSO2 Therapy circulates the patient`s own blood via the existing arterial access site used for the stenting procedure. Thus, no new access site is required. The TherOx DownStream System and DownStream Cartridge bear the CE Mark but are not available for commercial distribution in the EU at this time.

Delphinus Medical Technologies, Inc. is an innovation leader in advanced ultrasound development, introducing a dynamic new technique to image the breast with the use of sound and water. Delphinus is committed to creating improved imaging methods that assist medical professionals to better define and diagnose breast disease, while establishing a better patient experience that can be available for all women, regardless of age, without the concern of radiation or pain. Headquartered in Plymouth, MI, Delphinus is the first company to design and manufacture a whole breast ultrasound system that utilizes a ring transducer to transmit and receive ultrasound signals. Known as SoftVue™, three critical sound characteristics are measured and refined through proprietary algorithms, advancing this technology far beyond traditional b-mode ultrasound. By collecting and defining reflection, sound speed, and attenuation data in a 360° orientation, data are gathered and reconstructed in tomographic coronal planes, providing an enriched image set presented for cross-sectional review. SoftVue has received FDA clearance for diagnostic imaging purposes and is not intended for use as a replacement for screening mammography. Delphinus was formed in 2010 as a spin-out of Karmanos Cancer Institute [KCI] in Detroit, MI. Created by Peter Littrup, MD of Karmanos and Neb Duric, PhD of Wayne State University Detroit, MI the SoftVue technology presents a new imaging paradigm in breast disease assessment. Karmanos Cancer Institute has served as a primary investigational site for case collection and clinical studies. Delphinus holds numerous patents and proprietary assets for its innovative and scientifically-advanced works and is poised to usher in a new era of breast imaging.
