Engineered to mimic the body’s natural chemistry, Access Vascular catheters are designed to evade foreign body response and related complications.
  
  
• Egg Medical, has developed and is commercializing a lab radiation protection system that dramatically reduces scatter radiation exposure during interventional angiographic procedures. During an X-ray, radiation reflects off a patient and scatters to anyone else in the room, resulting in an increased risk of cancer chromosomal abnormalities, skin damage and eye injury for healthcare professionals. EGGNEST™ reduces scatter radiation exposure by 91% for the entire team without interrupting the workflow.
  
  
• Kent Imaging, develops, manufactures, and markets medical technology that supports real-time decision-making in wound care, vascular and surgical subspecialties and tracks the healing process. The company targets limb preservation and reconstructive surgical markets – areas with clear unmet need, as non-healing wounds are a major burden to patients and the healthcare system.
  
  
• Vektor Medical, has developed and is commercializing an AI-based, non-invasive arrhythmia analysis technology, vMap, that enables physicians to pinpoint source locations rapidly and accurately for both focal and fibrillation-type arrhythmias. The company aims to improve cardiac ablation outcomes, optimize workflows and increase procedural efficiency.
