Many presbyopes with age-related farsightedness require multifocal lenses to correct multiple refractive errors (near and farsightedness). After initial screening, prescribing multifocal lenses relies on a heuristic approach, requiring patients to try their lenses before reporting visual issues. We need a more effective method to determine prescriptions for multifocal lenses in presbyopic eyes, measured by fewer return appointments for fittings or post-fitting surveys assessing fit quality. We designed the Apex Viewer to simulate how multifocal lenses work in real-life environments.

We aimed to optimize the biocompatibility of ClariVy™ Cervical IBF System implants. The ClariVy™ Cervical IBF System consists of spinal implants made from polyether-ketone-ketone polymer (PEKK). Though this polymer shows much potential due to its high biocompatibility, it remains biologically inert, which prevents it from reacting to tissue cells and ultimately rejects cell adhesion. PEKK emerged as the newest polymer implant material, following the similar polymer PEEK (poly-ether-ether-ketone). This polymer contained similar properties to PEKK, such as high biocompatibility.

Patient anxiety leads many to avoid healthcare and drill vibrations significantly contribute to patient discomfort in dental situations. These vibrations are transmitted through bone structure, causing physical discomfort and amplifying stress during procedures. We developed WhisperGuard to reduce patient anxiety by absorbing vibrations from dental drills. The device utilizes materials with high damping coefficients and vibration-damping properties, such as Sorbothane, polyurethane and EDM1029.

We designed the Catheter Deflection Verification System (CDVS) as a quality assurance tool to enhance the precision and reliability of catheters used in cardiac ablation procedures. Accurate energy delivery to specific heart regions is essential for successful ablation, as variability in catheter deflections can lead to incomplete lesion formation, unintended tissue damage or additional procedures. The CDVS ensures a 1:1 translation between input angles applied at the catheter handle and output angles observed at the tip.
