Novel Flow Solutions in Urology and Vascular Disease
Our Products
Noninvasive Urethro-Cystometer(NUC): A device for differential diagnosis of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in the elderly male. Licensed to a medical device company and currently being marketed.
The Biofluid Inflammometer™: A clinical whole blood viscometer currently undergoing clinical trials. The Biofluid Inflammometer™ can provide a comprehensive profile of whole blood viscosity measurements at physiologically relevant shear rates between 1000 s-1 and 1 s-1 in less than a minute. The device is designed to access a database of clinical, diagnostic, and laboratory data points so that machine learning algorithms can be run on large data sets in an effort to better confer “context and improved meaning” to the whole blood viscosity measurements in any given patient. Our goal is that this device will serve as a comprehensive “inflammation barometer” or, rather, “inflammometer”...The Biofluid Inflammometer™.
Disclaimer: The medical devices described herein are limited by federal (U.S.) law to investigational use. They have not yet been approved for clinical diagnostic application.
