Curiteva Announces World’s First 3D Printed PEEK Device With Regulatory Clearance Reaches Full Commercial Launch in the United States

The company pioneered and received clearance earlier this year on the world’s first 3D printed, fully interconnected porous PEEK interbody.

Curiteva, a privately held technology and manufacturing company based in Huntsville, AL announces the commercial launch of its Inspire Porous PEEK HAFUSE Cervical Interbody System. 

The company pioneered and received clearance earlier this year on the world’s first 3D printed, fully interconnected porous PEEK interbody. This extraordinary advancement in additive manufacturing of polymers creates a new classification of interbody fusion devices with optimal characteristics for bony healing.

“We are very pleased with the positive surgeon feedback we received during our limited release in April. Now with full commercialization, the team is excited to see continued adoption of our novel 3D printed porous PEEK implant with HAFUSE Technology,” stated Mark Mohlman, EVP. “This launch is just the beginning as we continue to develop our additional lumbar portfolio scheduled for launch in 2024.”

The Inspire platform is manufactured with a proprietary, patented Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printer designed, programmed, and built by Curiteva. This ground-breaking additive process produces a fully interconnected and integrated porous structure traversing the entire implant to promote osseointegration, improve radiographic assessment, and deliver superior biomechanics. The first-to-market combination of the HAFUSE nanotechnology surface treatment and novel porous PEEK structure creates a hydrophilic, bioactive environment for cell attachment, proliferation, and healing in pre-clinical animal and in vitro studies.

“Curiteva received FDA clearance in February, initiated our alpha release in April and scaled to a commercial launch in July. I am proud of the entire Curiteva team for another milestone achievement and grateful to our surgeons and distributors for their patience and support,” commented CEO Mike English. 

The Inspire technology will be featured at the NASS meeting later this year. 

Curiteva is a privately held technology and manufacturing company dedicated to advancing spine surgery and improving clinical outcomes by partnering with providers and suppliers to deliver innovative and intuitive implant systems to the market. Our business is founded on a commitment to building world-class manufacturing, accelerating research and development, maintaining lean operational discipline, and delivering novel technology to meet the evolving needs of our customers and the patients they serve.

Intellihot’s Recognition as a Best Workplace for Innovators Reveals the Driving Force Behind Its Disruptive Products

Intellihot Awarded Best Workplace for Innovators

Illinois-based water heating manufacturer Intellihot was recently recognized by Fast Company on its “The Best Workplace for Innovators” list for 2023. Coming on the heels of the world’s first tankless heat pump water heater being launched by Intellihot in early 2023, the development confirms the company’s organizational culture as the driving force behind its history of disruptive innovations.

With over 104 patents (issued and pending), Intellihot has been innovating, manufacturing, and selling tankless water heaters for large commercial applications like hotels and multi-family properties since 2009. Their products’ immense space-saving, cost-reducing, and energy-efficient features have made Intellihot the brand standard for several blue-chip companies and the most viable commercial water heating solution in the North American market. However, Chief Executive Officer at Intellihot Sri Deivasigamani reveals that the company’s dogged focus on sustainability could be the most critical reason behind its award-winning work culture.

“Our organizational philosophy has been simple. If you find and nurture highly skilled individuals in an inclusively collaborative atmosphere, empower them to take up professionally rewarding responsibilities, and direct their focus towards an altruistic mission like reducing energy wastage, employees tend to find a potent purpose at work which drives their best work,” says Sri.

While Intellihot’s aforementioned launch of the world’s first tankless heat pump water heater (The Electron Series) has become its crown jewel of innovations, the manufacturer has had a persistent history of transformational innovations. It has won an Edison Award for an AI-powered water heater failure forecasting service, built the world’s highest-capacity tankless water heater as small as a refrigerator, and patented a technology that can predict failures and service needs.

“Intellihot’s commitment to innovation and its proven ability to deliver meaningful, immediate and positive impact is indicative of the role dedicated companies and their teams can have on changing the world for the better,” said Praveen Sahay, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Wave Equity Partners. “As Intellihot’s lead investor, we immediately saw the promise of their products to drive both financial and environmental benefits, and we are incredibly proud to be involved in their ongoing growth and success.”

About Intellihot

Intellihot is an innovative designer/manufacturer of built-environment systems that challenge traditional approaches for sustainability. Under the leadership of founder and CEO Sridhar (Sri) Deivasigamani, Intellihot offers a range of tankless water heaters designed and built for commercial applications with a focus on sustainability, cost savings, and water quality for safety. Winner of an Edison Award for Best New Product in 2022, and Best Products of AHR 2023, Intellihot serves the hospitality, restaurant, multi-family housing, senior living, commercial facilities, and plumbing industries.

‘KidoodlED Million Dollar School Giveaway’ Wraps Up with Overwhelming Response from North American Schools

‘KidoodlED Million Dollar School Giveaway’ Wraps Up with Overwhelming Response from North American SchoolsSchools Across Canada and the U.S. Celebrate Big Wins Toward Funding for School Projects

A Parent Media Co. Inc. (“APMC”), owner of Kidoodle.TV, the Safe Streaming™ service, announced the winners of its “KidoodlED Million Dollar School Giveaway” on June 16th, following a tremendous response from schools across Canada and the U.S. The contest saw more than 328,000 votes come in for schools vying for grants between $10,000 and $20,000 for critical school projects.  

Nominations for the contest opened on April 15th with public schools having an opportunity to flex their creative muscles aiming to win a $10,000 grant, with the top five schools with the highest number of votes winning $20,000. Voting took place between June 1st -15th, and on June 16th the winners were announced with Canadian schools capturing all top five spots.  

Schools from across the continent did not disappoint with highly creative submissions from students and teachers alike. From a parody of an episode of The Office to an endearing adaptation of Barenaked Ladies’ If I Had a Million Dollars, Kidoodle.TV’s heartstrings were tugged at with true creative energy.  

“The power of collaboration and community spirit displayed throughout the contest was remarkable. The spirited response we saw with these submissions was so heartening for our entire team,” said Neil Gruninger, APMC’s co-founder, president, and chief product officer.  

Maple Ridge Elementary School of Orleans, Ontario was one of the $20,000 grant winners. The kindergarten to Grade 8 school highlighted the need to repair the drainage issues in their outdoor play yard and upgrade the children’s connected spaces with more seating and exploring furniture.  

“This was a team effort that blew us away. We had voters from all over the world join us in our efforts to win. It was truly a global affair,” said Megan Nowiski, a kindergarten teacher at the school. She added that they were also very thankful to be supported by another school, Henry Munro Middle School. “They are a school in a very underserved community that voted daily for us. We are proud to have sent a generous sum of our extra winnings to them as a thank you.”  

Nowiski said the school plans to use the grant to repair their outdoor play area for kindergarten students, as well as create a new learning space in their front foyer and an outdoor garden for the entire school community to enjoy. “Thank you to KidoodlED for allowing us all to dream big and then turn those dreams into reality,” said Nowiski.  

For the students of Noel A. Smith Elementary of Frisco, Texas, the impact of winning the $10,000 grant will be profound, says Morgan Hicks, a teacher at the school. In their nomination video, a spoof of The Office, the administration discussed the need for new equipment for their makerspace, art resources and new gym equipment. She said the new resources would help students develop essential skills for the future and prepare them to confidently tackle challenges and embrace opportunities that lie ahead.  

Kidoodle.TV’s commitment to nurturing educational opportunities and fostering community involvement is intrinsic to their social impact initiatives like the KidoodlED Giveaway, and as they continue to grow, APMC’s dedication to giving back has become increasingly evident. 

APMC firmly believes in changing the world one school at a time and ensuring that educators have a safe and free option for streaming content that can be enjoyed in both classroom and home environments. The unified goal is to protect children online and off, all while providing educational shows that cater to a wide audience. 

“The KidoodlED giveaway was at the heart of our mission to ensure children and educators are given every opportunity to succeed and feel safe and heard in all schools,” said Gruninger.
