Recently, Conventus Orthopaedics, a medical device company from Minnesota, USA, announced the completion of a $20 million equity financing led by Deerfield Management.
Founded in 2008, Conventus Orthopaedics is dedicated to the development of 3D fracture repair implant devices. Conventus' Cage line of products has received FDA approval for the treatment of shoulder, elbow and wrist fractures. It is reported that the funds from this round will be used to promote the commercialization of Cage series products for the treatment of proximal humerus fracture repair.

The Cage range consists of three products, Conventus Cage-PH for fixation of proximal tibiofibular fractures, Conventus Cage-DR for distal tibial fractures, and Conventus Cage-PR for proximal radial fractures. The device is a self-expandable intramedullary implant that can be placed in the bone. Among them, Cage-PH provides direct medial column support by placing specially designed structural components in the intramedullary space and anchoring them to the sacral stem cell column. This approach is similar to the use of tibial stents and other materials to address medial column support problems in tibial fractures.
Urine Test Strips 14 Parameters
Measures 14 Different Components of Urine
Micro albumin | tests for early nephropathy (early kidney disease) |
Leukocytes | aka white blood cells. Also indicates presence of infection |
Nitrites | may be a sign of urinary tract infection or other infection |
Urobilinogen | checks for liver disease |
Protein | tests for kidney function |
pH | measures urine acidity, associated with higher risk for kidney stones |
Blood | can result from infection, injury, inflammation, kidney stones or cancer |
Specific gravity | evaluates the body's water balance and urine concentration |
Ascorbate | this test reveals the concentration of ascorbic acid in urine which varies with the intake |
Ketones | caused by disorders of increased metabolism; also by unbalanced diets such as high protein/low carb, anorexia or fasting |
Bilirubin | could indicate liver or gallbladder problems such as gallstones, hepatitis, cirrhosis or tumors. |
Glucose | the most common test for diabetes |
Creatinine | used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases. It can also be used to monitor renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes |
How To Test?
1. Remove one strip from the bottle and replace the cap immediately.
2. Immerse the reagent area of the strip in the urine specimen and take it out quickly.
3. Wipe off excess urine against the rim of the specimen container.
4. Read the test results carefully within 60 seconds in a good light and with the test area held near the appropriate color chart on the bottle label. Changes in color that appear only along the edges of the test pads or after moving than 2 minutes have passed are of no diagnostic significance. Results with leukocytes test portion can be read within 120 seconds.If reading instrumentally, carefully follow the directions given in the appropriate instrument operating manual
