Duke University spin-out, Deep Blue Medical Advances has developed a novel hernia mesh to address the unacceptably high rate of hernia occurrence and recurrence. Millions of hernia surgeries are done globally with billions of dollars in clinical cost. Our surgeon-invented T-Line® Hernia Mesh with integral suture-like extensions is designed to eliminate a key point of failure for conventional mesh fixation - the mesh, suture, tissue interface - and to provide superior anchor strength. In addition, several additional products are in development, including an anchor clip for even faster, easier implantation; a biosynthetic version of the T-Line Hernia Mesh; and a coated composite version of the T-Line Mesh. Deep Blue products enhance hernia surgery with a potentially significant impact on the $1.1B global hernia device market. Due to its simple yet revolutionary design, the T-Line® Hernia Mesh has the potential to reduce hernia occurrence and recurrence by preventing or reducing mesh fixation failure.

Fennec Pharmaceuticals is a biotechnology company focused on improving the lives of children with cancer by addressing chemotherapy-induced hearing loss.

Cisplatin and other platinum compounds are essential chemotherapeutic components for many pediatric malignancies. Unfortunately, platinum-based therapies can cause ototoxicity in many patients, leaving many survivors of childhood cancer with permanent and irreversible hearing loss. Permanent hearing loss, even minimal, acquired at a young age has a devastating impact on development, education, and socialization and a lifelong negative impact on Quality of Life. There are no currently approved treatments for the prevention of platinum-induced hearing loss. At Fennec Pharmaceuticals, we are dedicated to the development of our investigational agent, PEDMARK™, for the prevention of ototoxicity in children, and we hope that this will enable more children to retain their hearing. In honor of our namesake, the fennec fox, we strive to embody adaptability and resourcefulness in everything we do. Please see www.fennecpharma.com for more information.
