Based on encouraging Phase I feasibility results, we propose developing a novel gene therapy approach to promote guided vascular regeneration in treating extremities after traumatic injury. Our approach is to provide thread-like implants comprised of aligned nanofibrillar collagen scaffolds loaded with Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) vectors (e.g., HGF DNA plasmid, modified mRNA) designed to enhanc ...

Based on our success in developing the world first commercial high energy femtosecond fiber laser system and our leading proprietary technology development in ultrashort pulsed fiber laser material processing, PolarOnyx proposes, for the first time, a compact high energy fiber laser based smart wound healing tool to meet with the requirement of this DHP solicitation. It includes a high energy fs f ...

Surgical simulations aiming to support surgeon practices and medical education have attracted enormous research effort over the last two decades. However, the physical reality, especially on simulating aggregated tissue interaction, is still unsatisfactory. In this proposed work, an open source surgery simulation framework, SoFMIS, will be utilized and enhanced with tissue interaction models to a ...

Triton proposes to develop a simulation-based system to provide psychomotor skills training to advanced health care providers in the performance of a Lateral Canthotomy and Cantholysis (LCC) procedure, a method of preserving eyesight.

Sonalysts is teamed with the University of Maryland School of Medicine and Side F/X Studios to develop and demonstrate a proof-of-concept for an accurate, low-cost, manikin-based system providing psychomotor skills training to medical providers in the performance of the Lateral Canthotomy and Cantholysis (LCC) procedure, a method for preserving eyesight.The intended audience of the trainer will be ...

TDA Research, Inc., a leading developer of specialty sorbents, will design and test sorbents for incorporation into passive dosimeter badges designed by a major dosimeter manufacturing company. For the past 15 years, wearable passive major dosimeter badges provided by our partner. have been used by crews of U.S. submarines to monitor exposure to chemical hazards, including many of concern in the s ...

Expeditionary medicine requirements of the military require a portable O2 generator for the stabilization of injured warfighters. To help save soldiers lives, it is desired for medics to provide O2 enriched gas from a hand-held, portable device that concentrates the O2 from air. Adsorption based oxygen concentrators using compressors can be heavy and noisy while high temperature ceramic-based elec ...

The DOD is investing in mobile computing, information and warrior health systems to support network-centric military capabilities. Computerized health records, telemedicine, wearable monitoring, mHealth have the potential to reduce costs, promote health, ensure soldier fitness. The goal of this project is to design, develop, demonstrate, deploy a Warfighter Health Avatar (WHA), a simulation framew ...

Predictive medicine has considerable potential to improve clinical outcomes during the crucial minutes and hours immediately following combat trauma. There is a requirement for an avatar solution that serves a multitude of functions for predictive medicine in the battlefield and beyond, including digital health data warehousing and prediction of immediate and long-term outcomes associated with var ...

Triton Systems will apply our novel materials design expertise to develop a training model that would realistically simulate female anatomy to support the simulation-based training of Battlefield Combat Casualty Care.
