Summary of the technology
From the cooperation between Ventura Medical Technologies and Hospital Parc TaulÃ, a new method, Taulinoplastia, and a new surgery kit, Pectus Up, are born to correct the Pectus Excavatum. This new technique presents suitable advantages over current used methods.
Pectus Up is a set of tools and implants manufactured with the aim of treating Pectus Excavatum with the Taulinoplastia, being less painful and with a reduced post-operative time than other methods.
Description of the technology
The Pectus Excavatum is a congenital deformity of the chest wall, which is characterized by concave shape of the chest, known as the "funnel". The sternum inward sinking is generating pressure on vital organs of the chest, restricting their growth potential, causing shortness of breath and difficulty for breathing. This malformation occurs in 1 out of 800 children and is the most common congenital anomaly of the chest wall (90%). The disease manifests slightly worse at birth and during childhood and adolescence. Ventura Medical Technologies along with the Corporació Sanitària Parc Taulí, have developed a new surgical method (Taulinoplastia) and a new product (Surgery Pectus Up Kit) to fix the Pectus Excavatum, substantially reducing the danger of the surgery and the recovery time postoperative complications.
Specifications
The Pectus Up Surgery Kit consists of a plate with a functional design, several bone fixations and a set of tools that enable Taulinoplastia performance. All Pectus Up Surgery Kit items comply with current regulations regarding materials and treatments, therefore the implant is completely bio inert for the human body. In addition, all necessary studies have been conducted in order the product is fulfilling its function.
Main advantages of its use
- This new surgery technique presents the following main advantages: minimally invasive treatment, minimal loss of blood, much shorter time surgery, no risk of damaging the heart or other organs, small incisions, not intensive cares requirement, much shorter recovery time and standard device sizes. Currently, there are not disadvantages described.
Applications
- Pectus Up is an innovative device which requires an external procedure for its placement at subcutaneous tissue level.

Tantalum foams for orthopaedic applications- Easy manufacture. - High degree of porosity (60-80%), high interconnectivity between pores and with a pore diameter greater than 100 µm allowing vascular invasion and bone inward. - With a specially roughened surface topography. - The Young’s modulus (0.5-2%GPa) is very close to that of subchondral bone, enhancing the mechanical biocompatibility. - High surface roughness in conjunction with a low elastic modulus cause fric-tion between the outer surface of the foam and the surrounding bone. It is ap-proximately 1.5 times greater than the friction produced by conventional mesh systems or with titanium or cobalt-chromium spherules, achieving an excel-lent primary stability of the implant.

ViTAM, Videoconferencing multiplatform solutionsThe main innovation aspects in ViTAM are the following: - Simple and usable user interfaces. User interfaces are asymmetrical, differing from the patient and the professional. While the patient’s interface is extremely simplified, the professional’s side keeps a slightly higher complexity to keep control of the videoconferencing. This approach facilitates at most the use of technology by non-experts. - Specially designed for medical and social consultations. It implements two innovative operation modes not available in the market: the online consultation with waiting room and the videoconferencing call centre (coming soon). - Multiplatform and Multidevice. It is multiplatform (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS) and multidevice (PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone). - Easy integration. It can be easily integrated in or with other applications, as well as connect with external services (e.g. electronic health record, calendar). - Customisation. It can be customised not only in terms of graphical user interface but also in the workflow so as to implement new personalised videoconferencing scenarios. - Single and multiple videoconferencing. It offers 1 to 1 videoconferencing and multivideoconferencing in a single and unified interface. - Privacy. It ensures privacy protection by providing communications and data protection and enables its deployment on certified medical data management servers. - Sensors. It can be implemented as a background application running on the device, which can receive incoming connection requests, which can be useful when linked to sensors data alarms (e.g. blood pressure).
