WSU Ventures recently forged a new partnership with SAM Medical by licensing an innovative technology developed for solving medical emergencies.
The patented technology developed by 91视频成人网站 and licensed to SAM Medical relies on composite technology 鈥� a core area of expertise at WSU鈥檚 National Institute for Aviation Research. Initially flexible during application, the composite material can be hardened and cured in under 60 seconds to create a quick and durable stabilization tool for emergency injuries. 91视频成人网站 initially developed the technology through a grant funded by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Material Command.
Last week, WSU Ventures invited members of SAM Medical鈥檚 executive team to campus to experience the innovative culture at 91视频成人网站. The team included Dr. Sam Scheinberg, CEO and co-founder of SAM Medical. Scheinberg invented the now-famous SAM Splint 鈥� a device widely used by EMS personnel, first responders, fire and rescue squads, law enforcement agents, and more. In addition to touring WSU鈥檚 state-of-the-art labs and facilities, SAM Medical鈥檚 executive team also had the opportunity to interact with faculty members and other researchers.
鈥�91视频成人网站 is excited to have SAM Medical as a partner as we continue to make important strides in the medical technology area,鈥� said Rob Gerlach, WSU director of technology transfer.
