ELEVIDYS is the first FDA-approved gene therapy for Duchenne and the
first gene therapy to address the root cause of the muscle-wasting
disease. Sarepta developed a way to replace the broken dystrophin gene
with a working version that protects muscles, thereby slowing disease
progression. It offers hope to those living with the fatal disease.

Prism for PTSD, a neuroscience-based, FDA-cleared software device,
digitizes brain activity associated with PTSD. It features the world’s
first digital biomarker of brain area specific activity, developed by
applying advanced statistical models to register fMRI amygdala data with
EEG.

The Quantra System is the only point-of-care viscoelastic solution that
uses ultrasound technology to deliver highly accurate and precise
measurements when seconds matter. Blood is a precious resource.
Hemosonics helps preserve it while improving patient care.

The Solution consists of configurable hardware designs (Kiosk, Smart
Shelf, and Mobile Hub) coupled with a cloud-based software application
that powers the AITA Insights Engine. Because AITA is fully modular and
brand agnostic, it can be implemented in hospitals and clinics of any
size and layout.

Edison enables liver specialists to target and destroy liver tumors in
minutes with precision and immediate confirmation of treatment success.
The company believes that the novel mechanism of action may provide
significant advantages to patients, including quick treatment site
recovery, avoidance of complications and costs of traditional therapies.

EyeCane is the world’s only solution that empowers those suffering with
AMD to rediscover their lost vision. Revolutionary smart glasses use a
4K camera and mobile app to capture video, process it, and display it
back to the user in real-time. Clear, live images are moved from their
impaired area to their viewable peripheral area, enabling sight.

Invented by a surgeon himself, Dr. Albert Huang was often challenged
during pelvic operations to verify ureter pathway and quick
cystoscopies. StimSite’s technology is the first of its kind that can
verify ureter placement and pathway, as well as drastically reduce the
risk of injury and expedite pelvic laparoscopic procedures.

The MIS FiberTak Achilles SpeedBridge implant system uses innovative
technology in a minimally invasive technique of removing the insertional
Achilles tendon pathology and repairing it percutaneously, using a
knotless rip-stop and 1.7 mm collagen coated FiberTapes in an hourglass
pattern of opposition and compression to the bone.

MOLLI 2® is a wire-free soft tissue localization technology that
precisely marks the location of a lesion for removal during surgery.
It’s designed for ease of use, reliability, and a more efficient
workflow. It utilizes distance and 3D guidance to provide surgeons a
direct path to the lesion with millimeter precision, improving patient
outcomes.

The use of AR in medical devices has the potential to transform
healthcare by eliminating multi-tasking and guesswork from the current
surgical landscape. ARVIS® delivers real-time, hands-free guidance for
hip and knee procedures and is designed to generate measurably better
patient outcomes in a streamlined, cost-effective manner.
