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.
Biorez is dedicated to helping patients return to full activity sooner and safer following debilitating ligament and tendon injuries. We have developed the BioBrace™ scaffold, a new implant technology to reinforce tendon and ligament repairs and to facilitate tissue regeneration. Through our proprietary open porous architecture, and use of biomaterials, the BioBrace™ has been engineered to provide a high degree of bio-inductivity to promote rapid tissue regeneration, a biomechanical profile to reinforce repairs throughout the full healing profile, and full absorption overtime to fully restore the anatomy to its normal state. Early pre-clinical work suggests the BioBrace will deliver on the promise of a superior tissue scaffold to accelerate rehabilitation, regenerate functional tissue, and improve overall outcomes. Biorez is a VC-backed startup located in New Haven, CT.
Ottobock was founded in Germany in 1919 by Otto Bock, a prosthetist. His vision of restoring mobility lives on today, growing to serve the world with more than 46 locations reaching more than 100 countries. The company is headquartered in Duderstadt, Germany, and has more than 5,000 employees. In the early 20th century, Otto Bock transformed the way prosthetic limbs were made. Instead of carving wood to fit a patient, he applied manufacturing techniques and created separate components (like knees and feet) that could be combined, altered or customized to create a limb that was still unique to each patient – but wasn’t built from scratch. Because of his pioneering work, Prosthetists were able to meet the demand generated by World War I and help veterans stay as active as possible. In 1958, our North American headquarters were established in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Our Canadian branch was founded in 1978 and is currently located in Toronto, Ontario. As the first branch, North America has led the way in advocating for and supporting local needs while still tapping into a global network of research and development, manufacturing, and clinical expertise. The people who use our products benefit from the synergy of a worldwide organization complemented by a local connection. Finally, Ottobock continues to give back to the community, supporting various charities and projects that are consistent with our mission of restoring independence.
