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.

In 1989, Travis Medical was created and incorporated by the Yule family. At that time, it was started with the simple goal to function as a profitable entity while serving the disabled community with dignity and respect. With humble beginnings Travis Medical spent the early portion of the 1990`s operating out of a single suite at their original 34th St. location in the medical district of Austin, TX. With few employees and a single goal, the Yule`s embraced the laid-back culture of Austin and offered an invitation to customers and employees alike to become a member of the extended family. This approach resonated with the medical community in Austin and, with time, Travis Medical began to experience growth.
CeQur is dedicated to helping people with type 2 diabetes manage their disease by developing and commercializing simple drug delivery devices that can be easily integrated into daily life. The company`s lead product, PaQ, is a wearable insulin delivery device that delivers both basal and bolus insulin for 3 days at a time. Its simple, discreet design enables people to easily experience the benefits of intensive insulin therapy, while remaining free from the burdens of daily insulin injections. CeQur SA was established in January 2008 as a spinout from Danfoss A/S, a global Danish industrial products group that developed the initial concept of the CeQur technology. CeQur recently completed a clinical study evaluating PaQ among people with type 2 diabetes with positive results. The company has advanced the technology to a commercial product obtaining a CE mark for PaQ in 2012. CeQur is headquartered in Horw, Switzerland, with operations in Nordborg, Denmark and Marlborough, Massachusetts.
