Brain Sensing Device

Unmet NeedHydrocephalus is the buildup of fluid in the cavities deep within the brain which can lead to brain damage. In order to treat this condition, brain shunts are inserted surgically into a ventricle to drain the excess fluid. Around 125,000 people in the United States are living with these cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) shunts and 33,000 shunts are...

Scaly Aortic Stent Graft

Unmet NeedEvery year, around 200,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Currently, a ruptured AAA is the 15th leading cause of death in the country. All techniques of repairing AAA utilize the addition of an aortic stent graft to fix the rupture. One of the newer techniques is to attach a graft after extending...

Rescue Thoracic Aortic Stent Graft

Unmet NeedThe Artery of Adamkewicz is the name of the dominant artery that supplies blood to the spinal cord. During thoracic aortic stent grafting, the artery can become occluded, leading to a multitude of complications, most commonly, paraplegia. When occlusion of the Artery of Adamkewicz occurs, the pathology is mediated by the covered stent exclusion...

Magnetic Catheter, Drain, and Tube Repositioning and Attachment Device

Unmet NeedThe use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) has increased by 30.3% in developed countries in the last 12 years. PD is usually used in the treatment of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Around 10% of ESRD patients undergo PD for renal replacement therapy. PD is administered through an indwelling catheter in the peritoneal cavity. Fluid is infused through...

Photo-Assisted Vascular Access Guide

Unmet NeedApproximately 600,000 patients in the United States today are on hemodialysis. In order for long-term applicability of hemodialysis, either arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) or arteriovenous grafts (AVG) are utilized. AVFs utilize the patient’s own vein and AVGs are artificial conduits that allow long-term access to the patient’s blood flow and...

ACL Reconstruction Surgery Tool

Unmet NeedFor successful anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, accurate placement of the femoral tunnel is crucial for successful surgery. The torn ligament has to be removed so that the surgeon can see the original ligament attachment sites on the bone, known as the footprints. At these footprints, tunnels are then drilled into the femur...

Novel Cardiac Implants and Associated Catheter Systems to Treat Malfunctioning Cardiac Valves

Unmet NeedA common heart disorder seen in thousands of patients per year is regurgitation, a condition where the heart’s valves do not close sufficiently during systolic contraction, allowing for blood to leak from the ventricle into the atrium. This leakage varies from moderate to severe, and at high levels can put the patient at risk of many other...

Forward-looking MRI Coils with Metal-backing

Unmet NeedMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses radio-frequency coils to transmit and receive signals from material such as human tissue. Currently, there exist forward-looking coils that can image the tissue that is in front of the coil. Forward-looking coils for imaging the cervix gland, which is 20-30 mm from the coil’s end, are easy to build with...

Chimney Graft Guiding Stent for Complex Aortic Aneurysm Repairs

Unmet NeedAbdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are the 10th leading cause of death. The most common AAA is the infra-renal variety, which is also the simplest to repair. Currently most can be repaired via the “minimally invasive” endovascular approach, in which a bifurcated, fabric-covered, sleeve is introduced through the femoral arteries, relining the...
