TEDCO Grant Awarded for Surgical Instrument Development

Root3 Labs and collaborating university hospital surgeons have been awarded a $50,000 TEDCO grant to commercialize a novel medical device. The project will develop and test prototypes of a patent-pending endoscopic surgical instrument, advancing the technology toward a commercial product.

The medical device is a novel surgical instrument that fits through the tool channel of a common endoscope while improving the ability of the surgeon to grasp tissue. Root3 Labs will develop physical prototypes to demonstrate the functionality of the surgical instrument and to facilitate testing on ex-vivo animal tissue/organ samples.
