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.

PureFlora was founded in 2012 by Tivon Sidorsky, MD after a family member’s severe case of C. difficile introduced him to the efficacy of fecal matter transplants (FMT) and the need for a standardized, sanitary, and labor reducing system by which to collect, process, and deliver fecal matter. Recognizing the tremendous opportunity for research and clinical applications for human gut microbiota and the elegant solution proposed by Dr. Sidorsky, veteran medical device executive William L. Mince joined forces with the inventor building the now-patented technology and team that is PureFlora.
