Mission & Vision
BME’s mission is to design, develop and bring to market innovative medical devices to improve human health. In pursuit of this mission, a few years ago, BME designed, tested and validated an innovative dialysis needle and designed other dialysis blood circuit components. This work was funded with $1.5M in several SIBR grants from the NIH. The innovative needle decreases the damage to white cells and the release of pro-inflammatory factors that affect the patients’ health. The new needle was selected by the NIH for commercialization assistance. These studies also led to a significant discovery; a cause of medical complications, often leading to death, that occur in patients receiving long-term hemodialysis and to identify a solution to this problem.
More recently, BME has invented, identified the scientific basis and significance, and prepared a road map for validation and commercialization of three first of its kind medical devices. All the devices have several factors in common; they are unique, meet unmet needs, patented, and will save lives. Besides, the devices support BME ‘s vision which is to be a leader in the design and development of innovative medical devices.
