Title: A Device to Secure and Sense Neonatal ECMO Cannulas

KEDGE is a solution to secure and sense cannulas in neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). It is a two-pronged approach that involves (1) a stabilization system that adheres to the skin and (2) a "cannula ring" that adheres to the cannula. Mechanistically, the system depends upon the interface between the stabilization system and cannula, in order to detect subtle displacements. We believe this technology has the potential to improve the safety of neonatal ECMO, decreasing risk of unintentional mispositioning, malfunctioning, and decannulation.
