MTBI or mild traumatic brain injuries have long plagued the sports world, with the vast majority of those happening to high school and college athletes. 329,000+ teenagers are treated annually for sports-related concussion.
While efforts have long been underway to mitigate the likelihood and impact of sports-related concussions, what was largely missing from the equation was a clinically proven treatment. A partnership with the Cleaveland-based innovation firm, Nottingham Spirk gave way to a new company, TecTraum and the world's first device designed to treat concussions by improving clinical signs and symptoms, and reducing recovery time in athletes.
Pro-2-Cool is a Class II medical device that is currently undergoing clinical trials at Akron Children's Hospital's Sports Medicine Center.
