This system is a novel, non-invasive hypothermic therapy device designed to decrease the cruelty of concussion symptoms and let patients return to their pre-injury baseline sooner. It offers localised cooling for the head and neck to lower blood temperature before it enters the brain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TecTraum CEO John Zak, MD, MBA, said that they are incredibly proud to have TecTraum recognised by the FDA as a leader in concussion therapy as they work to commercialise the first-ever FDA approved concussions treatment.

To decrease procedure times and enhance ablation success, electrophysiologists require to visualise arrhythmia hot spots in the heart quickly and accurately.
