Additional Capabilities
Manufacture of a Settable Polymer Composite Bone Graft to Stabilize Fractures
Open fracture injuries are one of the largest sources of morbidity on both the battlefield and in the civilian population. The design of biomaterials that mechanically stabilize fractures while remodeling to form new bone is an unmet challenge in bone tissue engineering. Vanderbilt has designed a new bone void filler that induces bone growth, provides bone-like mechanical properties, and undergoes resorption at a rate aligned with patient biology.
Critical Innovations LLC
BurRapid Epidural Drainage Attachment for Traumatic Brain Injury
Epidural bleeding from traumatic brain injury (TBI) is immediately life-threatening and can quickly lead to brain herniation and death unless there is immediate neurosurgical intervention. BurRapid™, developed by Critical Innovations, is a medical device that provides hematoma drainage and intracranial pressure monitoring to sustain TBI patients on the battlefield. This allows for provision of these life-saving interventions earlier in the roles of care, including at the point-of-injury.
University of Colorado, Denver Center for Combat Medicine and Battlefield (COMBAT) Research
Community-Engaged Research Shows Promise for Adapting Safety Interventions in Military Populations
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz, supported by MOMRP and MTEC, adapted the Project Safe Guard (PSG) intervention for military populations, emphasizing peer discussions and addressing implementation challenges.
Potential for Early Covid-19 detection using Fitbit devices
Early detection of COVID-19 is a critical force readiness issue for the U.S. Armed Forces. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop wearable diagnostics to identify COVID-19 cases. Fitbit is currently working to further validate its COVID-19 algorithm through a prospective study with Northwell Health utilizing Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 smartwatches. The hope is to bring wearable illness detection capabilities to its users.
