The company, founded in 2012, is leading the development of a totally absorbable vascular filter for the prevention of pulmonary embolism, the nation’s 3rd largest killer claiming the lives of 100,000 to 300,000 Americans each Year - more than breast cancer, AIDS, and traffic fatalities combined. In collaboration with its partners including the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Adient is developing novel polymers with exceptional strength and imaging characteristics for the demands of implantable absorbable medical devices. Overall, a game changing medical device platform is emerging with the potential of saving lives with minimal adverse events since the absorbable devices vanish from the body following intended use.",

    "bio": "Admetsys has developed the first fully-automated glucose control system specifically for the needs of hospital and surgical care. The system attaches to a patient's intravenous line, and automatically measures blood glucose concentration in real time with no blood loss. From this, it creates an adaptive, computational model of each patient's metabolism, and infuses precisely-optimized, counterbalancing treatment—insulin to reduce high glycemic levels and glucose to raise and support falling levels. For people at diabetic risk, glucose control is at its most crucial while in hospital or undergoing surgery. Correcting abnormal glucose levels and keeping them normal speeds recovery, prevents infection, and reduces complications. In short, it saves lives. To date, this has been difficult, highly labor-intensive, and imprecise. That is about to change.",

This unique technology produces dilute Hydrogen Peroxide in true gas form which attacks the viruses, bacteria, and molds that commonly cause illnesses ranging from the flu to deadly hospital-acquired infections. The concentration is well below OSHA limits allowing the area to remain in use while the patented technology offers protection from germs on a sustained basis. This capability is revolutionary, providing the ability to continuously reduce microbial loads and also prevent mold infestations. Like air, our technology permeates the entire enclosed space and reaches every surface – even those surfaces rarely cleaned by conventional methods. This means soft surfaces like curtains or seat pockets and hard surfaces like work-out equipment will be treated as well as the more typical surfaces like desks and tables.",

The company’s initial focus is on glioblastoma, a devastating brain tumor that is currently incurable. Since viruses are already good at killing cells, scientists have harnessed this ability by modifying a common cold virus so that it targets and kills cancer cells selectively. More than 35 patients have been treated with the cancer-killing virus, called DNX-2401, with excellent early results. Company’s lead product, DNX-2401, is the culmination of more than a decade of scientific and clinical research and is the most potent and effective oncolytic virus delivered to human brain tumors to date. DNAtrix is also working to expand its platform technology for treating other cancers, including ovarian, prostate and pancreatic cancer indications. The company has offices located in Houston, Texas and San Diego, California.",

LSS is primarily a degenerative, age-related narrowing of the lower spinal canal that causes symptoms of pain and numbness in the lower back, legs, or buttocks. mild® treats this condition by restoring space in the spinal canal using specialized mild® devices to remove hypertrophic ligamentum flavum through a 5.1 mm treatment portal. Clinical studies show that mild® can help LSS patients stand longer and walk farther with less pain1, and no major complications related to the devices or the procedure have been reported.2",
