InfraScan, Inc. is a medical device company that focuses on developing, commercializing, and distributing hand-held diagnostic devices for head injury and stroke assessment based on near infrared (NIR) technology. The Infrascanner enables clinicians to detect effectively, conveniently, and accurately intracranial bleeding in patients with head trauma. Intracranial hematomas are an important treatable cause of secondary brain injury in patients with head trauma. Recent statistics from Iraq shows that 30% of all wounded in action have head injuries; of them 40% have brain hematomas. Dr. Britton Chance (University of Pennsylvania) and Dr. Claudia Robertson (Baylor College of Medicine) invented a NIR system for detection of brain Hematomas and tested it successfully in 305 patients in Baylor. An entrepreneurial team formed a company around this technology in Collaboration with Drexel University and won the Wharton Business Plan competition in April 2004 and the second prize at the global business plan competition in Singapore in October 2004. Office of Naval Research funded the company in May 2004. The company also attracted $1.5M in funding from BioAdvance, the Biotechnology Greenhouse of Southeastern Pennsylvania, from Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania, and from Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation. A multicenter clinical study to support an FDA submission started in July 2006, and on February 2008 an application was submitted to the FDA. After 4 years of review, the FDA cleared Infrascanner Model 1000 as a DeNovo medical technology in December 2011. In January 2013 the FDA cleared the 510(k) of Infrascanner Model 2000.
Biorez is dedicated to helping patients return to full activity sooner and safer following debilitating ligament and tendon injuries. We have developed the BioBrace™ scaffold, a new implant technology to reinforce tendon and ligament repairs and to facilitate tissue regeneration. Through our proprietary open porous architecture, and use of biomaterials, the BioBrace™ has been engineered to provide a high degree of bio-inductivity to promote rapid tissue regeneration, a biomechanical profile to reinforce repairs throughout the full healing profile, and full absorption overtime to fully restore the anatomy to its normal state. Early pre-clinical work suggests the BioBrace will deliver on the promise of a superior tissue scaffold to accelerate rehabilitation, regenerate functional tissue, and improve overall outcomes. Biorez is a VC-backed startup located in New Haven, CT.
