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...

Cell Impregnated Nanofiber Stent Sleeve ("CINSS") for Intravascular Growth Factor Production

Invention novelty:Stem cells are harnessed to create a stent-based “paracrine factor factory” using a novel biodegradable nanofiber sleeve which protects the cells from washout and immune attack, and provides a sheltered in vivo on-stent milieu for the cells to continuously produce and deliver healing growth factors and exosomes to injured tissue.Value...

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...

CADENCE Balloon Shunt

CADENCE is a novel, patented treatment platform that functions to alter cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow, increase cerebral blood flow (CBF), and modulate the intracranial pressure (ICP) wave through natural cardiac-induced dynamics. CADENCE can be visualized as an intra-aortic balloon pump for the brain and therefore functionally very distinct from...

Partially degradable glaucoma stent for controlled intraocular pressure reduction

UNMET NEED There are a number of parameters that affect the electrospinning process including polymer, solvent, polymer: solvent ratio, flow rate, voltage, distance to collector, collector type and speed, and needle size.5 Typical electrospinning setups allow for the manufacture of aligned or random fiber mats composed of nano- or micro-fibers. These...
