Orthogen LLC, Springfield, NJ
The aim of this research is to develop an improved, synthetic bone graft material with anti-inflammatory properties and bone growth factor, for use in dentistry. This new material, a calcium sulfate/absorbable polymer composite, is expected to have considerable advantages providing a cost effective alternative to currently utilized dental bone grafting techniques. www.orthogencorp.com
VectraCor Inc. Totowa, NJ
VectraCor has developed and patented a technology that will differentiate the current mature cardiac monitoring market by enhancing the cardiac monitor (VectraplexECG) to actually derive the 12-22 lead ECG from the placement of only 3 leads or 5 original cardiac monitoring electrodes, instead of using a separate ECG machine that will require the placement of an additional 10 electrodes for the 12 lead ECG and 22 electrodes for the 22 lead ECG. Additionally, VectraCor's technology will also incorporate the first electrical cardiac marker, VectraplexAMI, that in real-time will detect ST segment deviations that may be indicative of a patient developing an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This is a major advancement in the diagnosis and treatment for patients with CVD.
