Inteprod’s Development and Design of a Handheld Cranial Scanning Medical Device.

In 2019 there were nearly 61,000 traumatic brain injuries that ended in people dying in the United states alone according to the CDC! Moreover, a staggering 10 million people worldwide sustain traumatic brain injuries resulting in death or significant irreversible deficits annually according to the World Health Organization!  

Bumps, blows or jolts to the head are the main causes of a traumatic brain injuries. These external forces on the head lead to various levels of damage to our most vital organ, the brain. These injuries, depending on the severity, may lead to short or long term health problems, or even death. While a person with a mild TBI or concussion may experience short-term symptoms and recover within days to months, a moderate to severe TBI can have life-long effects and in worst cases lead to death from intracranial brain bleed. 

Enter the OEM Cranial Scanning Device Inteprod manufactured for our client. The OEM medical device can spot deadly intracranial hematomas just moments after an impact. The “golden hour” after a traumatic head injury is paramount to properly assess. If not treated immediately can lead to death or permanent disability. This portable device manufactured by Inteprod, LLC in Eagleville, PA., uses near infrared spectroscopy to determine if there is differential light absorption in the healthy part of the brain vs potential brain bleeding areas.
