MY01 is a state-of-the-art medical device geared towards aiding in the detection of Compartment Syndrome (ACS); a limb-threatening muscle condition which occurs within 48 hours following a trauma. Currently ACS is diagnosed based on subjective and unreliable outcomes like pain (known as 6 P’s), which when present cannot confirm the diagnosis in time for effective intervention. This leads to increased complications (muscle necrosis/amputation) and costs the US healthcare system more than $2.25 B annually. MY01 is capitalizing on a proven correlation between sustained increase in Intramuscular pressures and ACS for objective, early diagnosis. MY01 operationalizes muscular pressure monitoring into a simple, accurate single-use device. MY01. The simple solution to a dangerous problem.

SaiOx, Inc. has developed a patented breathing device that utilizes the proven benefits of heliox in a novel system to provide relief to patients with respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). The low density heliox used in the system carries oxygen more easily and deeper into the lungs, decreasing the work of breathing and increasing patient blood oxygen levels. Additionally, the low pressure of the system decreases patient breathing discomfort, therefore increasing treatment adherence because patients are more inclined to continue its use. In comparison to current technology, SaiOx’s breathing device more quickly and less expensively treats COPD and other respiratory diseases through reducing ICU stays and consuming less O2 and HeO2 gas over time.
