Vein Viewer

The patented 3D Vein Viewer Locator technology excels in visualizing small veins beneath thick subcutaneous fat layers, particularly in 6-10-month-old and premature babies, dark-skinned, kidney, cancer, and burn scald patients. It aids difficult venous access (DIVA) cases, minimizing failed insertions and complications by 30%. With a design based on familiar insertion postures, its one-time success rate surpasses competitors by 13%, reaching an impressive 94%. The nurse-exclusive screen reduces medical stress and disputes.

PowerBeat M Series

PowerBeat M Series is a portable semi-automatic external defibrillator. The device is about the size of a smartphone and weighs 0.7 kg. The compact form allows personal carry, home placement and vehicle transport. Defibrillation is delivered at 150 J, a low energy level that limits damage to the heart muscle. Voice guidance, clear icons and one-touch operation support use by people without medical training. The housing is made of thermoplastic material and is rated IP65 against dust and water. Two versions are offered, one professional and one general.

Ludwig Katrin

Ludwig Katrin is a neck fixer designed to hold and support the cervical spine. Unlike common neck fixing products with long external inflation tubes, Ludwig Katrin uses a built-in gasbag and an interior hidden line structure. The gasbag in the center is pressed to inflate the device, and an exhaust button on the left releases the air, which makes the product wireless and portable. Six gears allow step-by-step height adjustment, and a sound signal marks each gear. A supporting plate behind the neck guides the up-and-down movement, and the fabric cover is removable and washable.

Argus

Argus is a water quality monitoring system based on a living plant. Nanosensors are injected into the leaves, where they remain within the intercellular space. The sensors produce a visible glow of a specific light wavelength. When lead from the surrounding water reaches the leaves, the glow is reduced, indicating that the water contains impurities. The plant samples water continuously and needs no electricity. A result appears within fifteen minutes to two hours, which is faster than laboratory testing.

FlowIO

FlowIO is a pneumatics development platform for the control, actuation and sensing of soft robots and programmable materials. The main module integrates valves, sensors, a microcontroller, a battery and a charger. Pump modules connect magnetically and can be swapped during use, with small, medium and large options for different pressures and flow rates. The modules are enclosed in 3D printed snap-fit housings. A software toolkit adds mobile and desktop graphical interfaces, Bluetooth control and programming interfaces. FlowIO suits both desktop and wearable projects.

Kidney Assist Transporter

Kidney Assist Transporter is a medical device for the preservation and transport of donor organs. The system provides oxygenated machine perfusion during preconditioning, preservation and reconditioning. Continuous perfusion flow with 100 percent oxygen supports organ quality. Double ice units with improved insulation give stronger and longer cooling. An LED supported interface makes operation logical and intuitive. All functional parts, including the oxygen gas container, are integrated into one compact and sturdy unit that is safe during transport.
