Presenting early-stage Trendlines companies:
a natural bone graft material for enhanced strength and healing in orthopedic and dental procedures. CoreBone’s patented technology embeds bioactive minerals into the skeleton of corals during the growth process, producing an advanced coral bone substitute material with a high level of bioactivity and ability to integrate with bone.
Gordian Surgical makes a unique 2-in-1 device that opens and closes incisions during laparoscopic surgery, saving physician time and preventing complications.
ProArc has created ClearRing, a unique prostatic reshaping device that treats Lower Urinary Tract symptoms due to prostate enlargement. ClearRing is a minimally invasive solution that offers immediate symptom relief after a procedure that can be performed in a physician's office.
SenseGo is a portable, easy-to-use system for walking pattern analysis in diagnosing orthopedic, sports medicine, and geriatrics (elderly risk of falling) disorders. After recording walking data for several minutes, SenseGo gives immediate results for objective evaluation, improved therapies, and focused follow-up.
MST has developed a video analytics-driven robotic manipulator that tracks and follows surgical tools at the press of a button, allowing surgeons to move independently and hold laparoscopes in a stable, synchronized and precise manner. This enables seamless and fluid surgical workflow, eliminating the need for coordination and communication between surgeons and assistants and providing a stable field of view throughout the procedure. With over 4 million laparoscopic surgeries performed in the U.S. last year, MST estimates a total addressable market of $3B ($2B device sales + $1B disposables). Look for additional materials on MST in the coming weeks on OurCrowd.com by registering as an accredited investor.
Also presenting will be OurCrowd General Partner and CTO, Gadi Mazor. Gadi is an Israeli entrepreneur and an expert in the character and voice recognition space, having served on the advisory board of Blackberry as well as the US Senate committee devising the US public alert system.
