Product: UNITY® Vitreoretinal Cataract System (VCS)
Company: Alcon
About the Product:
UNITY® Vitreoretinal Cataract System (VCS) is developed by Alcon, the global leader in eye care. UNITY VCS is designed to meet the evolving demands of cataract and vitreoretinal surgery, incorporating more than a dozen innovations into a single advanced platform. By integrating multiple technologies and functions, it simplifies operating room workflows, reduces complexity, and aims to help surgeons work efficiently without compromising quality. With built-in safety features and enhanced workflow efficiency, UNITY VCS supports the delivery of high-quality care to more patients worldwide.
Discovered and developed entirely by CSL, ANDEMBRY® fuses leading scientific experience with deep patient insights plus state-of-the-art formulation and device development, all leading to a once-monthly, small-volume dose delivered via a convenient autoinjector. It is remarkably well tolerated, safe, and leads to strong, durable efficacy. This combination of features marks a significant advance in HAE care and allows patients to lead fuller lives. It also demonstrates the power of CSL’s scientific persistence, its focus on enduring patient impact, and its willingness to disrupt itself in the service of bettering patients’ lives.

Beyond Air, Inc.
Product: LungFit® PH
Company: Beyond Air, Inc.
About the Product:
Beyond Air is a medical technology company advancing nitric oxide therapy through innovative, accessible solutions. Recognizing the need for a simpler, more sustainable approach to inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) delivery, Beyond Air developed LungFit® PH, an FDA-approved and CE-Marked, tankless system that generates nitric oxide from ambient air. By eliminating compressed gas cylinders and chemicals, LungFit PH reduces the logistical burden, waste, and complexity associated with traditional iNO delivery. This breakthrough technology is designed to simplify treatment delivery and hospital operations while helping healthcare teams focus resources where they matter most: delivering high-quality care to vulnerable patients.

Cresilon

Product: TRAUMAGEL®
Company: Cresilon
About the Product:
TRAUMAGEL® is a revolutionary plant-based hemostatic gel that controls bleeding in seconds. The groundbreaking medical technology from Brooklyn-based Cresilon is designed to stop bleeding rapidly, provide immediate hemorrhage control, and save lives. TRAUMAGEL is the first-ever gel in a syringe for traumatic hemorrhage and the only flowable hemostatic device with FDA clearance for temporary external use to control moderate to severe bleeding. Since its nationwide launch in January 2025, TRAUMAGEL’s clinical use has continued growing with licensed medical professionals applying it to a wide variety of moderate to severe bleeds, including gunshot wounds, equipment injuries, head lacerations, and tourniquet conversions.

Product: Exablate® Neuro
Company: Insightec
About the Product:
Exablate® Neuro, developed by Insightec, is the first MR-guided focused ultrasound platform FDA-approved to treat advanced symptoms of Parkinson's disease, including debilitating tremor, rigidity, mobility impairment, and medication-induced dyskinesia. Using submillimeter-accurate lesioning guided by real-time MRI and thermal mapping, physicians perform incisionless brain surgery on deep brain structures, without opening the skull or implanting hardware. This approach gives patients whose symptoms persist despite optimized medication a meaningful treatment option, delivered through an intact skull with no incisions, electrodes, or ongoing device management required. Supported by randomized controlled trials and multicenter studies, Exablate Neuro represents a new paradigm in functional neurosurgery.

Johnson & Johnson

Product: Impella 5.5™ with SmartAssist™; Impella CP™ with SmartAssist™
Company: Johnson & Johnson
About the Product:
Impella CP with SmartAssist and Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist expand recovery-oriented treatment options for some of the sickest pediatric cardiovascular patients, children and adolescents facing cardiogenic shock, myocarditis and symptomatic acute decompensated heart failure. By pairing smaller-profile and higher-flow support options within one ventricular unloading platform, this indication expansion gives care teams more ways to stabilize critically ill pediatric patients, support end-organ perfusion, create time for myocardial recovery, and help bridge appropriate patients to the next stage of therapy. For a vulnerable population with high acuity, limited device choices, and meaningful potential for recovery, the expansion represents an important step toward more equitable access to advanced circulatory support.

Product: Shockwave C2 Coronary IVL Catheter
Company: Johnson & Johnson
About the Product:
Shockwave C2 IVL Catheter The Shockwave™ C2 Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) Catheter uses ultrasonic acoustic pressure waves to fracture calcium in hardened arteries. The technology represents a paradigm shift in calcified coronary artery disease (CAD) treatment with a new mechanism of action to address one of cardiology's most persistent challenges. It allows physicians to treat deep and superficial calcium safely and effectively, without damaging the soft tissue of the vessel wall or creating clinically meaningful embolic debris — something no prior technology has achieved. Shockwave C2 offers a safer, more effective and predictable solution for patients with complex CAD.

Lumicell

Product: LumiSystem™
Company: Lumicell
About the Product:
LumiSystem is the combination of two FDA approved products: LUMISIGHT™ (pegulicianine) and Lumicell™ Direct Visualization System (DVS). LUMISIGHT is an optical imaging agent that fluoresces at sites of suspected cancerous tissue. Lumicell DVS is an imaging device that provides fluorescence guidance. This combination is used intraoperatively to illuminate breast cancer, in real-time, within the resection cavity following the removal of cancer in a lumpectomy surgery, enhancing the standard of care. Not for promotional use. Visit www.lumisystem.com for full Product Information, including Boxed Warning.

Lungpacer Medical

Product: AeroPace®
Company: Lungpacer Medical
About the Product:
Lungpacer's AeroPace System is the first and only transvenous diaphragm neurostimulation system for patients struggling to breathe independently and wean from mechanical ventilation. Every day on a ventilator weakens the diaphragm, trapping patients in a cycle of unnecessary mechanical ventilation. AeroPace breaks that cycle by stimulating the phrenic nerves to activate and strengthen the diaphragm while patients are still ventilated, helping them breathe on their own sooner. In the pivotal RESCUE-3 trial, patients weaned 43% faster and spent 3.2 fewer days on ventilation. Lungpacer's mission is simple: liberate patients from the vent and give them the freedom to breathe again.

Product: TGFR™ System
Company: MediBeacon Inc.
About the Product:
The specific medical need that our technology addresses is the accurate determination of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) at the point-of-care. The MediBeacon® Transdermal GFR System (TGFR™ System) employs noninvasive transdermal fluorescence detection of a novel fluorescence tracer agent to measure its clearance rate from the body. This rate is then converted into GFR.
The TGFR™ System is comprised of Lumitrace® (relmapirazin) injection for intravenous use, a multiuse sensor containing the light source and photo detector for noninvasive detection through the skin, and the TGFR™ monitor which acquires the signal and displays the GFR to the healthcare provider.
