Omeq Medical

Omeq Medical Overview

Omeq Medical is developing a single-use smart needle system for safe, accurate epidural injections. Attached to a standard epidural needle, a special blunted probe repeatedly monitors the dynamic forces exerted by the surrounding tissues and accurately detects needle penetration into the epidural space. Once successful positioning is confirmed with a visual signal, the safety mechanism of the device protects the patient from inadvertent puncture of the spine. Omeq Medical is a portfolio company of Trendlines Medical and received FDA regulatory clearance ("FDA") for its EPiFINDER.
