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 sequalae. Despite knowing that embolization is ubiquitous, embolic protection devices are not used in all procedures as they add complexity, time, and cost. Dedicated devices do not exist for renal intervention, although the majority of physicians say they would use one if it existed. Contego Medical’s family of embolic protection devices represent a paradigm shift in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

MedLite ID is an easy-to-use, disposable medical device that enables clinicans to accurately and efficiently identify a single medication infusion line against similar infusion lines in any light setting. The ninth leading cause of medical-error deaths in the United States involves infusion line confusion, and nearly 65 percent of those cases are related to the medication infusion line. MedLite ID eliminates infusion confusion by providing indicators with built-in wireless light technology at the medication bag, connector, and to patient. Each MedLite ID device is unique to its individual medication infusion line and cuts the process of infusion line identification to mere seconds. This saves clinicians precious time while also drastically mitigating risk and reducing stress while ensuring better care and patient outcomes.
