A Look at 3 Prototypes
Disruptive Technology
Below is a description of 3 prototypes that utilize this disruptive technology as well as an overview of the target markets. There are over a dozen other prototypes ready for demonstration. The company that advances this meaningful technology will create new markets and accelerate growth.
Orthopedic (Ultrasonic Bone Saw and Scalpel)
Ultrasonic bone saw and scalpel that can prevent infection, control bleeding, and speed up healing.
Combat and First Responder Wound Care
Portable wound care for the 21st century. Could be as ubiquitous as the first aid kit.

Sophisticated Medical Devices
Ultrasonic bone saws and scalpels are sophisticated medical devices intended to cut as well as coagulate tissues and vessels. These devices rely on ultrasonic vibrations for cutting during a surgical intervention and are anticipated to garner considerable attention in the coming years owing to their numerous benefits over electrosurgical options in terms of blood loss and post-surgical procedures. These medical devices are known to offer high degree of precision along with time saving.
Ultrasonic Bone Saw
Sophisticated Medical Devices
Sophisticated Medical Devices
This low frequency ultrasound bone saw device enables safe, precise and controlled bone removal. It is designed to provide significant advantages over the current options in the existing market. This device can control infection, bleeding, and promote healing simultaneously. This novel technology will enable the surgeon to improve cutting refinement, decrease heat to the bone and soft tissue periosteum, while decreasing the chance of infection and chance of nonunion.
Ultrasonic Bone Scalpel
Sophisticated Medical Devices
Ultrasonic Bone Scalpel
This low frequency ultrasound bone scalpel uses similar technology as the bone saw but is designed for a gentler osteotomy. Its efficiently slices crystalline bone while leaving elastic soft tissues largely unaffected during incidental contact.

- Repeatable and predictable experience Eliminates chatter, skipping and walking
Soft Tissue Sparing
Controlled Cutting
Controlled Cutting
- Minimal soft tissue interaction
- Preservation of nontarget tissue
- Absence of soft tissue wrapping Differentiates tissue types
Improved Efficiencies
Improved Efficiencies
Improved Efficiencies
- Nonabrasive, controlled cutting
- Efficient cooling of surgical site
- Reduced blood loss
- Direct visualization vs blind cutting
- A more effective process in maneuvering during the cutting process
- Minimizes hand fatigue
Prototype #3 - Combat and First Responder Wound Care Device
Qoustic Field Wound Therapy System - Model AF1000
Portable hand held device that can stop bleeding, prevent infection, and provide immediate pain relief. Compact and lightweight.
Portable Wound Care for the 21st Century
Immediate triage of wound injuries - technology can stop bleeding, kill infection, and reduce pain
The Model AF1000 Qoustic Field™ portable wound care is intended to provide field wound care for armed services personnel – especially in the battlefield – and first responders in the form of portable hand-held device that is deployed and used by average personnel trained to use it for three key aspects of immediate wound triage in the field: 1) Hemostasis (i.e. ultrasound can stop bleeding) 2) Pain reduction (i.e. ultrasound can provide temporary pain relief) 3) Bioburden reduction (i.e. ultrasound can reduce and impede infection at wound site)
Will become as ubiquitous as the first aid kit
Save Lives
Market Overview - Combat and First Responder Wound Care
With the uncertainty of social, political, and economic conditions around the world and the corresponding rise in tensions and conflict, there are large markets in military, law enforcement, peacekeeping, tactical response, emergency medical, and other first responders. Target Markets include: 1. Military & Reserve Units (e.g. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, etc) 2. Tactical Response Units (e.g. SWAT, HRT, etc.) 3. Law Enforcement (e.g. FBI, DEA, Police, Private Security, Etc) 4. Emergency Medical First Responders (e.g. Paramedics, EMTs, Firefighters, etc) 5. Other First Responders (e.g. Red Cross, Disaster Recovery, etc).
