Developer of therapeutic devices for spine surgery. HydroCision intends to improve outcomes in spine surgery by providing fluidjet driven medical devices for use in open and minimally invasive spine procedures, to simultaneously cut, ablate, and remove hard and soft tissue quickly, safely, and effectively without the collateral thermal or mechanical trauma of other surgical modalities. Also, it allows enhanced visibility during the operation of the device, which is particularly important in spine procedures where the surgical site is surrounded by vital structures such as nerves and blood vessels.

Innovating muscle assessment technology for neuromuscular disorders and muscle wasting diseases. They are dedicated to building clinical gold standards for measuring muscle wasting and its treatment impact. The company develops comprehensive, painless, and portable solutions for assessing muscle quality, even at home. Their technology aims to aid in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal diseases. They offer quantitative data on functional capability while the muscle remains at rest, using a portable, non-invasive device. Their electrical impedance myography (EIM) technology measures changes in electrical impedance to assess muscle composition and micro infrastructure. This technology has the potential to reduce clinical trial sample sizes, enable standardized data collection, and serve as a powerful biomarker. Their mission is to comprehensively assess and display changes in skeletal muscle composition and micro infrastructure, supporting clinicians, scientists, caregivers, and patients. The company's technology holds potential for early disease diagnosis and could replace expensive muscle measurement devices.
