CoapTech

A medical device company developing Coaptive Ultrasound technology in Baltimore, MD. CoapTech seeks to bring a series of breakthrough medical devices to worldwide markets, leveraging a patented, disruptive technology called Coaptive Ultrasound which is owned by the company. CoapTech devices will reduce health care costs, and improve safety, quality, patient experience, and access to services around the globe. Invented by Dr. Steven Tropello, the PUMA System™ enables procedures using point-of-care ultrasound in hollow organs. The first application of this technology is called the PUMA-G device, which is a procedural kit for the insertion of gastrostomy tubes using just ultrasound. This procedure is now known as Percutaneous Ultrasound Gastrostomy (PUG), a point-of-care (as opposed to operating room) procedure for inserting gastrostomy tubes which can be safely performed by ultrasound-trained providers.
