The tenaculum is a tool used in gynecological procedures, such as IUD insertion and biopsies, to stabilize the cervix. The current tenaculum, modeled after a Civil War-era device used to extract bullets from bodies, is often associated with significant pain, tissue damage, and bleeding. Salura Health’s project aims to eliminate discomfort and tissue trauma while…

Our team M.A.P.S. focuses on developing a platform designed specifically for working with Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI) data. The main idea is to finally create one place where users can open, visualize, and interact with spectroscopy datasets without dealing with multiple programs, format issues, or missing metadata. We built the platform as a plugin…

E-Lumenate is a minimally invasive phototherapy device designed to address the need for an effective, localized treatment for Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE), a chronic, inflammatory condition caused by excess eosinophilic cells within the esophageal tissue. EoE has increased fivefold since 2009, affecting about 1 in 700 people in the United States. Current treatments, including corticosteroids, proton…

Over 400,000 hysterectomies are performed annually in the U.S., and visibility limitations remain a leading challenge contributing to more surgical complications. The primary clinical challenge identified by stakeholders, including gynecologic surgeons, was the need for improved visualization during laparoscopic hysterectomies, particularly at the colpotomy incision site. Moreover, the market for uterine manipulators is projected to…

Endovascular procedures require controlled guidewire manipulation, however, current torque devices are often manual, causing inconsistent rotation, slippage, and operator fatigue [1]. There exists a clinical need for improved torque precision, reduced hand fatigue, and safer wire handling, as established via surgeon surveys and stakeholder interviews. More than a million endovascular procedures are performed annually, and…

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most prevalent vaginal infection worldwide, impacting over 21 million women annually in the U.S. and contributing to increased susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Despite antibiotic treatments such as metronidazole, recurrence rates exceed 50% within six months due to persistent Gardnerella vaginalis biofilms and failure to reestablish…

This paper presents the design, development, and experimentation of a wireless, battery-free neural stimulation system utilizing an intraoral pathway for power delivery to deep brain targets for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Traditional neuromodulation systems require implantable pulse generators and wired leads. This introduces surgical risks and hardware complications. To address these limitations, a resonant…
