The Airway Dome was developed in response to what CANOPPE's co-founders were experiencing first hand and hearing from colleagues around the world during the Covid-19 pandemic. Traditional PPE was falling short in protecting healthcare professionals from the virus during airway procedures. The solution, a negative pressure dome that would be easy to introduce into the hospital setting.
The tracheostomy device has been tested both experimentally and clinically in more than 100 patients. This device allows the surgeon to have a “direct line of sight” of the trachea during the entire procedure. As a result, bronchoscopy is no longer necessary, reducing the number of physicians required to perform the procedure from two to one which leads to significant efficiencies.
The heart plug was experimentally tested in 2 studies involving 64 simulated individual cardiac stab wounds. Hemorrhage control was achieve successfully in 100% of cases. Trainees without previous experience in cardiac injuries
successfully deployed the device in 40 cases. The device outperformed the current techniques involving a urinary catheter and led to minimal interference with cardiac function.
