The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $299,428 Project Grant to WNT Scientific LLC to develop an innovative medical device to treat nonunion fractures in older adults. The device is a biodegradable, controlled-release material designed to promote fracture healing by stimulating angiogenesis (blood vessel formation), which is impaired in elderly patients due to chronic inflammation. The awarded project aims to commercialize this...
This $317,259 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Scripps Health aims to develop "smart" shoulder implant prototypes capable of continuously monitoring prosthesis loading conditions in real-time. The project will design, manufacture, and test self-powered implant prototypes for total shoulder replacement, enabling sensors to sample loading data and provide biofeedback to patients and healthcare providers. This two-year effort...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $274,997 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I Project Grant to Flex Orthopaedics, Inc. in Agoura Hills, CA. The grant supports the development of a novel ancillary orthopedic implant designed to increase the lifespan of total knee replacement devices.
