Exos Medical’s splints raise nearly $1 million
April 12, 2010 by
Exos Medical Corp.’s high-tech casting and splint technology helps it drum up nearly $1 million in an equity offering.
Exos Medical Corp. raised $925,000 in an equity offering to further develop the high-tech casts and splints used by several notable athletes, according to a Securities & Exchange Commission filing.
The company’s casts and splints are billed as being waterproof, adjustable and X-ray friendly. That’s helped the Arden Hills, Minn.-based start-up’s products gain favor with prominent athletes such as Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer, gold medal-winning downhill skier Lindsey Vonn and former University of Cincinnati quarterback Tony Pike.
Exos’ products include thumb and forearm splints, and wrist and arm braces.
Exos, a joint venture with Enova Medical Technologies of St. Paul. and Product Innovations in Aspen, Colo., developed polymer materials that, when layered with foam, create a lightweight, moldable material that allows doctors to custom-fit each cast and splint to the patient.
The most recent funding round comes from 30 un-named investors. Exos has revenue of less than $1 million, according to the regulatory filing.
CEO Fariborz Boor Boor told Finance and Commerce that Exos would use the funding to further develop its products and grow it sales staff. The nine-employee company currently relies on an indirect sales force to sell its products.
Exos was founded in 2007 and started to generate sales near the middle of last year, Boor Boor said in December 2009. The company was distributing its products to doctors and surgeons in about 20 states at that time. Boor Boor said he hoped to develop casts and splints for the body’s lower extremities like knees and feet, and possibly sell products to the military and veterinaries.

How to Steer Clear of Your Ex’s <b>Medical</b> Bills | FavStocks

Filed under: Personal Finance, Credit Report, Lynnette Khalfani-Cox
With medical collection activity on the rise, it is possible that a hospital, clinic or healthcare provider could come after you to pay off healthcare bills incurred by your former spouse.
In fact, in many states, health care providers use common law doctrines to force spouses of patients to pay outstanding medical debts.
Even if you don’t live in a common law state, many states consider a wife or husband responsible for a spouse’s medical bills, provided the two were living together when the medical bills were generated. That’s the case in New Jersey, where I live. Here, the Supreme Court has ruled that both spouses are liable for the “necessary” expenses incurred by the other while living together; and medical services are considered “necessaries.”
Fortunately, there are some efforts underway to safeguard spouses (and ex-spouses) when a wife or husband has racked up big medical bills. For example, many consumer protection agencies advocate exempting spouses from medical debts altogether.

The Dubai Mall Medical Centre strengthens portfolio with Complementary and Alternative Medicine Department
- United Arab Emirates: 3 hours, 37 minutes ago
The Dubai Mall Medical Centre, the flagship healthcare centre of the Emaar Healthcare Group and Methodist International partnership, has strengthened its portfolio of healthcare services with the opening of the Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Department.

- Emaar Healthcare Group welcomes key Methodist Hospital leaders to Dubai to visit medical centre and upcoming joint projects
- The Dubai Mall Medical Centre showcases advanced diagnostics and modern consulting suites
Focused on the holistic wellness of visitors in addition to offering specialised services that meet modern lifestyle requirements, the CAM Department is headed by Dr Heather Eade, Naturopathic Medicine Practitioner, with extensive experience working in Canada and Saudi Arabia previously.
The CAM Department at The Dubai Mall Medical Centre offers a spectrum of treatment options that address specific patient profiles in addition to supporting the other departments by providing valuable lifestyle recommendations for patients. A variety of conditions can be addressed by the department including gastro-intestinal problems, skin conditions, reproductive concerns, hormonal abnormalities, as well as lifestyle issues like smoking cessation, weight loss, and stress management.
Mr Omar Al Shunnar, Chief Executive Officer, Emaar Healthcare Group, said, “A recent healthcare survey in the UAE reports that nearly a third of the Emirati population is obese and that one in every four Nationals is diabetic. This is an indication of the need for modifying lifestyles, in which complementary & alternative medicine can play a pivotal role.”
He added, “The opening of the CAM departments underlines our commitment to offer holistic treatment options for visitors, and underscores how we are leading the way in integrated medical care for the community. By integrating wellness treatments with modern treatments, patients benefit from an overall lifestyle modification that adds to their well-being.”
“While antibiotics have saved millions of lives, there has been a real shift in the way people think about their health,” said Dr. Sarper Tanli, Executive Director for Methodist International. “Many people are attracted to complementary alternative medicine, as it emphasizes on treating the whole person – body, mind and spirit. Some physicians have started to use CAM as a part of support to their conventional medicine practice. A combination of complementary and conventional medicine integrates the solutions for people’s well-being and patients find the individualized and collaborative approach of medicine particularly appealing.”
Dr Eade added, “Complementary & Alternative Medicine is gaining acceptance as a healthcare priority by healthcare organisations globally. CAM treatments are focused on preventative as well as corrective options, in tune with the individual needs of each patient. The value of CAM therapies, when integrated in a modern treatment centre, is immense as the focus is on healthcare options that promote and support the body’s natural healing processes.”
Dr Eade’s scope of practice as a Naturopathic Medicine Practitioner includes clinical nutrition, homeopathy, herbal medicine, acupuncture, and physical medicine. Further certifications in colon hydrotherapy, cranio-sacral therapy, intravenous, and chelation therapy leave Dr. Eade well positioned to offer comprehensive CAM treatment protocols for a variety of medical conditions. In addition, the department offers food and environmental sensitivity screening.
Dr Eade completed her BSc (Honors) in Life Sciences at Queen’s University in Canada in 1999, and her four-year doctorate degree in naturopathic medicine at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in Vancouver, Canada in 2005, where she earned the prestigious John Cosgrove Award for Excellence in Clinical Skills.
Previously she managed the Complementary and Alternative Medicine department in a private hospital in Saudi Arabia, and has experience treating patients of all ages. She has a particular interest in helping her patients achieve their health and wellness goals through truly individualized and integrated care.

State medical boards are “under-disciplining” doctors, watchdog group finds
By FierceHealthCare on 04/07/2010 9:48 am PDTLeave a Comment
Overall, the rate at which states took serious disciplinary actions against doctors–including revocations, surrenders, suspensions and probation/restrictions–rose slightly in 2009. Still, that number was 18 percent lower than its peak five years ago, according to an annual ranking of state medical boards by Public Citizen, a nonprofit consumer advocacy group.
In particular, Minnesota was the worst state when it came to disciplining doctors and, along with Maryland, South Carolina and Wisconsin, has consistently been among the worst 10 states for each of the last seven rankings. For the first time since Public Citizen began issuing its state medical board rankings, Massachusetts has fallen into the bottom 10. California’s rate of discipline (11th worst) has also dropped considerably since the 2001 to 2003 period, when it was ranked 22nd.
“There is considerable evidence that most boards are under-disciplining physicians,” said Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of Public Citizen’s Health Research Group. “Most states are not living up to their obligations to protect patients from doctors who are practicing medicine in a substandard manner.”
The best states when it comes to doctor discipline, in order, are Alaska, North Dakota, Kentucky, Ohio, Arizona, Oklahoma, Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico and Hawaii. Hawaii, North Carolina, Washington, D.C., Illinois and Maine showed the most improvement from the 2001 to 2003 period.
The annual rankings are based on the Federation of State Medical Boards’ data on the number of serious disciplinary actions taken against doctors from 2007 to 2009. Public Citizen calculated the rate of serious disciplinary actions per 1,000 doctors in each state for each of these three years, then averaged the rates over the past three years to establish the state’s rank.
According to the report, the most effective medical boards tend to be adequately funded and staffed, committed to proactive investigations, have excellent leadership, work independently from state medical societies and government and use a “reasonable legal framework” for disciplining doctors.

China has developed j-10 fighter from Israeli Lavi technology which funded by US. About 300 planes will be produced with advanced Russian engines and missiles. These new fighters are comparable to F-16 C/D. Surely, the J-10s will be used any Sino-Us conflict including Taiwan issue.
