A new startup, BIOPAC Medical Systems LP, has launched following a licensing agreement between Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and medical device firms to commercialize neural blockade monitoring technology. The device provides real-time, objective evaluation of regional anesthetic effectiveness during surgical procedures.
The technology was invented by former APL engineer Wayne Sternberger and pediatric anesthesiologist Dr. Robert Greenberg to address a critical gap in clinical care. Currently, clinicians lack reliable ways to evaluate nerve block effectiveness, particularly in vulnerable patients like children or those under general anesthesia.

NeuroOne Medical Technologies received FDA clearance for its OneRF ablation system to treat trigeminal neuralgia, a chronic facial pain condition affecting about 150,000 Americans annually. The minimally invasive device uses radiofrequency energy to create lesions that interrupt pain signals from the trigeminal nerve. The Eden Prairie, Minnesota-based company plans a limited launch in Q4 2024, marking its first expansion into chronic pain treatment beyond neurosurgery applications. CEO Dave Rosa said the company expects to pursue additional pain management opportunities, including lower back pain treatments, leveraging its technology platform.
