List of Surgical Devices Companies in Maryland - 7

Akrivita (formerly SeeTrue), a woman-owned company, specializing in microcapillary needles for precision microinjection. At AkriVita, we've developed the MultiPort Microcapillary Needle using advanced 3D printing and unique resin, ensuring precise and consistent needles. This innovative design eliminates recalibrations, reduces downtime and costs, and minimizes clogging. Our high-contrast needles offer consistent flow, improving the success rates of microinjection procedures. AkriVita provides biomedical scientists and healthcare practitioners with reliable tools that enhance outcomes, save time, and cut costs, enabling them to focus on advancing human health through discovery and innovation.

Medical device design and development. First patented product under development is BondTrue, which standardizes surgical closure for better wound healing. Unlike other closure techniques, BondTrue knows where the incision was made so it can precisely realign the wound back together, reducing wound complications, saving time and costs.

Clear Guide Medical is a leader in next-gen medical imaging fusion and navigation technology. Our vision-based approach has been introduced in a family of clinical guidance products, including the CLEAR GUIDE SCENERGY for instrument guidance and SCENERGY FUSION for ultrasound and CT/MRI image fusion. Our products make minimally-invasive interventions like biopsies, ablations, pain injections, and peripheral nerve blocks efficient and cost-effective. The company is a privately-held spinout of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions and The Johns Hopkins University based in Baltimore, Maryland.

CoapTech is bringing a series of breakthrough medical devices to worldwide markets, leveraging a patented, disruptive platform technology called the Point-of-care Ultrasound Magnet Aligned (PUMA) System. The PUMA Platform will disrupt multiple medical procedures, reducing health care costs, and improving efficiency, safety, quality, patient experience, and access to services around the globe. Invented by Dr. Steven Tropello, a Johns Hopkins-trained critical care physician, the PUMA System enables diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic procedures in hollow organs. The system combines magnetic attraction for device placement guidance, and ubiquitous, low-cost, point-of-care ultrasound for visualization in hollow cavities. Our lead device, the PUMA-G, selected because of its low risk, clear FDA pathway, and strong commercial viability, is for the insertion of Gastrostomy (feeding) tubes. PUMA-G enables a point-of-care (i.e. bedside, as opposed to operating room) procedure for inserting gastrostomy tubes which can be quickly and easily performed by non-surgical providers. By eliminating specialty suites and specialist consultants, PUMA-G will save hospitals money and improve efficiency and safety for this common procedure. PUMA-G has been validated in human anatomy, and has a streamlined regulatory pathway based on FDA presubmission feedback.

Galen Robotics is developing a single-platform solution to aid surgeons across several disciplines with minimal disturbance to existing workflows. Our cooperative control paradigm aims to eliminate hand tremor and enable surgeons to realize precise minimally invasive interventions in otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, and tissue reconstruction that were previously considered beyond human capacity.
