Company Summary
Arthroventions™ is developing a family of devices that distends the synovial fluid from the joint space and guides the provider to more accurately place a needle into the synovial fluid. This device reduces patient pain and decreases the probability of a “dry tap” (missing the synovial space). Using our device any physician type can safely perform a joint tap as accurately as a specialist reducing the cost of joint care.
