Unmet NeedAortic aneurysms were the cause of almost 10,000 deaths in 2017, and currently have an incidence of 10 cases per 100,000 in the United States. Aortic aneurysms that involve larger vessels pose extremely challenging problems for vascular surgeons. Almost all the vessels that branch out from the aneurysm will require revascularization, but it...

Shape-Changing Implants for Pediatrics

Unmet Need / Invention Novelty: Current synthetic and/or biological grafts used to address congenital heart abnormalities in infants and children have fixed sizes. The rapid growth of the infant or child inevitably leads to major mismatches between expanding surrounding tissues and the static original implant, which obstructs blood flow and necessitates...

Safe Direct Current Stimulator Design for Reduced Power and Increased Reliability

Unmet NeedNeuroprostheses, such as cochlear implants and neural pacemakers, have already been proven to be useful in varying applications. Current neuroprostheses tools typically employ biphasic pulsatile stimulation, a process where electrodes have both a cathodic phase and an anodic phase to pass charge in both directions. Direct current (DC) has...

Initial Proof-of-Concept of Photoacoustic Neural Stimulation; A Potential Approach to Retinal Stimulation: Preliminary In Vitro Study

Unmet NeedNon-cataract related vision loss affects 22.9 million people worldwide. Many of these patients retain partial functionality in their retinas; even though their outer retinas no longer function, visual stimulation can be achieved by sending messages from the inner retinas through the optic nerves. Present efforts to restore vision to these...

Minimally Invasive Magnetic Vocal Fold Manipulator

Unmet NeedVocal cord paralysis results in a compromised airway, hindering speaking and breathing. To alleviate the effects of paralysis, surgical operations can manipulate the position of the vocal cords by moving them to the side (lateralization) or center (medialization) of the airway. Current state of the art procedures achieve vocal cord lateralization...
