PowerVision
|
PowerVision is a private company focused on developing a novel accommodating intraocular lens, which is designed to restore True AccommodationTM. Their innovative FluidVisionTM accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) is poised to help individuals affected by presbyopia and/or cataracts regain the ability to dynamically adjust focus for clearvision at all distances.Fifty years ago, vision correction surgery was changed forever by the invention of the intraocular lens, which is used to treat a cataract – a clouding and hardening of the dime-sized, normally clear, crystalline lens inside your eye which can rob you of your vision in your 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.PowerVision set out to dramatically improve vision correction surgery again. They began the development of their FluidVision IOL, which mimics the way a healthy eye works and can restore clear vision at all distances, near, far, and everywhere in between. It uses a tiny amount of fluid inside the lens and natural eye muscles to change shape and adjust focus just the way your healthy eye does.For the more than 20 million people with cataracts in the U.S. and, ultimately, the more than 90 million with Presbyopia – the loss of ability to focus up close that affects people in their 40’s and 50’s – the FluidVision lens can potentially give them freedom from ever needing glasses, contacts or any vision correction procedure again. | $20M / Series D / Jan 29, 2014 | |

BARRX Medical

BÂRRX Medical, Inc. develops endoscopic treatment solutions for Barrett's esophagus and other chronic gastroenterological diseases.

The company's HALOFLEX, HALO360 and HALO90 ablation systemsare designed to provide a uniform and controlled ablation effect, in order to remove diseased tissue and allow re-growth of normal cells.A multi-center randomized, sham-controlled study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2009, studied HALO radiofrequency ablation applied in the highest risk Barrett's population (those having dysplasia). The ablation group had a high rate of complete eradication of dysplasia and intestinal metaplasia and a significantly decreased rate of disease progression and cancer development, as compared to the control group. In another study (AIM-II) published in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 98.4% of treated patients were Barrett's-free after two and a half years of follow-up.The HALO systems are cleared by the FDA for use in the United States and each have CE Mark for use in Europe. More than 58,000 procedures have been performed in over 400 hospitals around the world.
