Orpyx Moving Forward with Innovative Insoles: Treatment for diabetic neuropathy just steps away.

Hot to Trot

We are thrilled to announce that Orpyx's flagship product, the SurroSense Rx™ device, will be available in select US clinics as of Fall 2013.  Things are abuzz at the Orpyx HQ, as we implement our ISO:13485 Quality System, prepare our medical device assembly space, and hit "go" on our initial product order.  Beyond these commercialization-focused efforts, we continue to hone in on a number of key areas, including further research and development, intellectual property portfolio expansion and international distribution planning.  Orpyx is working towards establishing global distribution opportunities outside of North America, with a focus on the UAE, Australia, Japan and the EU.  The company continues to be a focus of attention for worldwide leaders in the medical device and wound care spaces.

From a trial perspective, the manuscript detailing our Proof of Principle and Calibration studies on the SurroSense Rx™ system, Validation of Plantar Pressure Measurements for a Novel In-Shoe Plantar Sensory Replacement Unit, has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology this coming September.  We are proud of the work that Dr. Reed Ferber and the University of Calgary's Running Injury Clinic have done in producing this work.  Data collection for Pilot studies on the SurroSense Rx™ and SurroGait Rx™ systems continue under the leadership of of Dr. David Armstrong (SALSA, University of Arizona) and Dr. Benno Nigg / Dr. Cory Toth (Human Performance Lab, University of Calgary), respectively.  We expect to have interim data for both these studies later this summer.  We are enthused to announce partnership with Dr. Andrew Boulton's team out of the University of Manchester and the Manchester Metropolitan University; Dr. Boulton's group will be engaging in a large, Randomized Control Trial investigating the clinical and pharmacoeconomic effectiveness of the SurroSense Rx™device.  Stay tuned to our website for continued updates!

The Orpyx team continues to grow, as we bring on some of the best and brightest in the field.  We are elated to welcome Travis Stevens, MSc PEng, as our VP Engineering and Daryl Coutts as a Software Engineer.
