Trans-auricular Left Atrial Appendage Ligation to Prevent Thrombosis

This technology includes an interventional device to occlude the left atrial appendage to prevent thrombus formation. Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with formation of thrombus in the left atrial appendage. Standard preventative treatment involves anticoagulation, which is not tolerated by all patients. Existing devices necessitate improvement because they need trans-septal puncture and anticoagulation to prevent thrombus or are prone to life-threatening complications.

Single Scan Bright-blood and Dark-blood Phase Sensitive Inversion Recovery (PSIR) Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Imaging

This technology includes a technique to improves detection of myocardial scar compared with conventional bright-blood late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) techniques. Dark-blood late gadolinium enhancement (DB-LGE) improves tissue delineation with signal suppression of the blood pool based on T2-preparation pulse that is relatively independent from the blood flow velocities and improves scar detection in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.

An Innovative Adapter for Expedited and Automated Thawing of viably Frozen Cells

This technology is a device and system for expediting the thawing frozen specimens (e.g., cryopreserved cells) contained in cryo-vials, offering a breakthrough solution for researchers seeking efficiency and precision in their workflows. The device is equipped with a small elongated tubular adaptor that suspends a cryo-vial of frozen cells over a centrifuge tube containing culture medium in an inverted position. With a focus on speed, efficiency and automation, the adaptor dramatically expedites the process of recovering viable cells from frozen specimens.
