AiM Medical Robotics (Worcester, MA, USA) is commercializing an MRI-compatible surgical robot enabling intelligent intraoperative surgical planning and guidance utilizing “real-time” imaging. This is important for addressing brain shift causing target movement relative to the skull resulting in a 34% removal/revision rate for DBS placement. AiM's first product is for image-guided stereotactic neurosurgery and based on 15+ years and $15M of NIH-funded research. AiM’s approach overcomes many challenges associated with efficient, accurate, safe intracranial placement of neuromodulation, ablation, biopsy, and drug delivery.

AMT (The Netherlands, Ede, Gelderland and Utrecht, Utrecht) is a clinical-stage medical device company. AMT developed a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open heart bypass surgery (CABG). Surgeons perform open heart bypass procedures without opening the chest or stopping the heart, reducing patient recovery times and minimizing complications. The donor vessel is connected with a clip. A laser is used to create the opening between the vessels. This approach eliminates the need for a heart-lung machine and sutures, making the procedure less invasive and more standardized.

ArthroSave (Culemburg, The Netherlands) is a Dutch orthopedics company which has developed a unique solution to improve osteoarthritic joints, allowing patients to return to an active way of life. The CE-certified KneeReviver has demonstrated significant pain reduction, functional improvement and cartilage regeneration across multiple clinical studies. The long term data show that the KneeReviver treatment postpones the knee replacement with 10 more years. Gearing up for the next step, ArthroSave is raising EUR 5M to fund its commercialization in Europe, with the option to increase the investment to enable US market access. Currently, we are actively speaking with investors to realize this round and are keen to discuss our proposition with you in more detail. Are you available for a call on short term to discuss this?
