This year, our team has participated in the ARS (U.S.), CEO-ORL-HNS (European wide, held in Dublin), and IOS (Northern Ireland) conferences, engaging with leading clinicians from the U.S., Europe, Ireland, and the UK. The invaluable insights and feedback we received were not only encouraging but critical in validating the direction of our R&D program. These discussions reinforced the alignment between clinical needs and our product development, ensuring we’re focused on delivering innovations that truly make an impact in patient care. We’re excited to integrate these insights into the next phase of our work. Looking forward to sharing more as we continue to develop visibly better endoscopy systems. #MedTech #HealthcareInnovation #ClinicianFeedback #ARS2024 #IOS2024

We at Tympany Medical are thrilled to have been awarded €6.8 million in funding under the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund (DTIF), from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. This funding will accelerate Tympany Medical's development of sustainable, disruptive technologies for surgical endoscopy, and position the company as a leader in the #sustainability space for #medtech. We are looking forward to leading this project with our excellent DTIF partners, the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), Invermed, and the National College of Art & Design. Announcing this key funding, Ministers Simon Coveney, Simon Harris and Dara Calleary all noted Tympany Medical's potential for leading on sustainable, technical advancement in #endoscopy. Also commenting on the announcement, Leo Clancy, CEO of Enterprise Ireland commented "Tympany Medical has achieved remarkable progress with its Solascope project. This innovation improves the functionality of endoscope procedures and also reduces the time traditionally associated with this procedure. The next stage of the project, which will be backed with more than €6 million in DTIF funding, will allow Tympany Medical, and its partners Invermed Teoranta, RCSI and NCAD, to commercially launch the Solascope as a groundbreaking, sustainable medical device. This is another great example of how DTIF funding can support Irish innovation to create remarkable solutions for global problems, creating high-quality jobs in Ireland" Thanks also to our DTIF Consortium leads Donal Healion, Claire Condron, Pat Whyte and other collaborators! https://lnkd.in/dZkrP8Zs
