SBIR Success
in NC: InnerOptic
InnerOptic was founded in 2002 to commercialize the patented 3D Laparoscope technology, initially developed by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. They are currently working on two innovative medical products to assist physicians in surgery and cancer screening. 3D Laparoscope devices are designed to assist surgeons with minimally invasive procedures by acquiring and displaying true 3D data from inside the body.
Their Cancer Detection System will offer more information to the examining physician than most other current cancer screening methods, immediately and at significantly lower expense, since the need for lab analysis of tissue samples will be greatly reduced. The SBIR grants have been crucial in establishing the due diligence needed to pursue private funding for their projects.
