WoundFlow -- Computerized Mapping and Tracking of Burns
Accurate mapping and tracking of burn injuries is critical for creating and executing an
effective treatment plan for burn patients. Most burn mapping procedures are paper-based,
which can lead to variable treatment across patients and providers. Earlier versions of
electronic mapping tools are not readily available with the features offered by WoundFlow.
WoundFlow is a user friendly, intuitive, electronic burn mapping tool used for documenting
full and partial thickness burns and ongoing surgical treatment modalities. This technology
uses the same body segment percentages as the standard Lund-Browder chart and is able to
calculate the total body surface area of burns, grafting, donors and healing. It also
features an animation mode and can upload patient photographs that can be easily viewed
by the entire multidisciplinary staff.

Spray Polyurethane Foam Splint: FastCast™
Orthopedic injuries, such as bone fractures, that occur in military combat or emergency
situations often require prompt medical attention and stabilization to avoid further damage
to the injured extremity. However, in these types of settings, it is difficult to provide
prompt and efficient medical treatment that can address the residual effects of the injury,
such as swelling and blood loss while simultaneously stabilizing the injured limb. Current
techniques require multiple steps with multiple components, thereby prolonging pain,
swelling, and potential secondary injury. Additionally, a high level of training is required
to administer existing techniques which could pose problems when time is of the essence.
In response, a novel technique has been created for splinting and casting injuries in
emergency settings with a one-step process. The spray polyurethane foam is applied directly
to the skin to create a contoured cast in minutes. Pressure is evenly distributed throughout
the immobilized limb to minimize pain, blood-loss, and potential secondary injury.
Additionally, any needed access ports are easily formed.

OMARA Tube™ (Orally Maneuvered Airway Removable Applicator)
Endotracheal intubation is one of the most common procedures of airway management that
requires a great deal of clinical experience to master. When performed improperly, complications
may rapidly lead to a patient's death. The OMARA Tube™ is a long, thin disposable stylet
that attaches to and improves the function of a standard endotracheal tube. The innovative
device includes a durable, exploratory portion that protrudes from the tip of the intubation tube,
acting as a guide to insert the tube into the vocal chords and into the trachea, bypassing the
need for a large endotracheal tube through the vocal chords. It also employs a handle that
allows for accurate positioning of the tube. Ultimately, the OMARA Tube™ augments and
improves conventional intubation by transforming the endotracheal tube into a rescue airway device.

Integrated Data Exchange and Archival (IDEA)
Lack of interoperability between medical devices has consistently been one of the main
challenges for implementing next generation medical decision-support systems. The
inability of medical systems to exchange information and data severely limits the ability
of advanced algorithms to effectively process data streams from different sources. This
data exchange is needed to make meaningful decisions for many aspects of patient care.
The development of new standard communication, interface, and data exchange protocols is
therefore critical to advancing medical decision-support software.

Medical Tube Securing Device
Often burn patients have problems breathing on their own due to scorched esophagi, and damaged
airways caused by smoke inhalation. Therefore it is necessary to intubate the patient so that
they can breathe. This technology will prevent cuts and tears in the patient's mouth caused by
endotracheal tubes.
