Arithmedics
Arithmedics uses Generative AI and data intelligence to reduce billing mistakes and claim denials. Its software generates and explains codes to streamline the billing process and uses data from completed claims to reduce future denials.
Aspero Medical
The Aspero Medical PillarTM balloon overtube solution with patented pillar micro-textures maximizes frictional properties, improving mucosal wall traction and anchoring consistency in the GI tract while allowing for atraumatic engagement with the bowel wall. Using this technology, Aspero Medical continues to advance flexible endoscopy interventions.
Aurora
Aurora has developed a minimally invasive suturing technology using the first ultrasound and non-ultrasound guided suturing platform. This through-the-channel, multipuncture, reloadable tissue anchoring system will democratize complex endoscopic procedures, including gallbladder drainage, facilitation of gastroenteric anastomosis, closure of luminal defects, and gastric remodeling for obesity.
Ergami
Looping during scope insertion causes patient pain and the need for sedation, results in longer insertion times, and can lead to a high prevalence of endoscopy-related injuries for the endoscopist. To address these issues, Ergami developed a flexible overtube capable of automated insertion and fixation in the colon. The device has the potential to improve procedure productivity, eliminate sedation, and prevent endoscopic injuries.
Lazurite
ArthroFree is a wireless surgical camera system that improves operating room safety and efficiency by allowing surgeons to perform endoscopic, arthroscopic, and other minimally invasive procedures without light or video cables. The cordless camera provides high-quality images while eliminating trip, fire and contamination hazards and removing ergonomic challenges caused by tethering.
