Phokus Research Update

Tuesday, July 8th, 2014

There’s a couple of announcements from Phokus Research regarding their products and customers. First, the Sons Trauma Kit line has been expanded to four sizes, and consists of the Mobility, Deployment, Low-Vis, and Shield variants. The Mobility and Shield versions were created to fulfill end-user requirements.

Their LVD II has the same contents as the DTK II. This means end users can carry our kit under their armor or on their belt in the small of the back (Using the First Spear Low Vis Pouch). The Zippered Training Kits have been overwhelmingly popular due to training concerns which means no more destroying a deployment kit in training. The Phokus Z-Fold Gauze is now replacing competitors gauze within DOD and it’s also Berry Compliant and has a secondary use as a Hemostatic Training Gauze (Same Dimensions). The Blood Type Stickers, Rip Cord Extenders, and the other products we showed you after Warrior West are just the beginning for Phokus. They were born out of necessity; their requirement for flat Trauma Supplies.

Also, Naval Special Warfare has added the Hoplite to the new Visual Augmentation System Kit. Hoplites are issued with every new PVS-31 in use by NSW commands.

Phokus Research Group will be present at Warrior Expo East, booth #1009. If you have the opportunity, give them a visit and check out their products.

B-TEMIA Announces A Medical Breakthrough For Individuals With Limited Walking Endurance

Wednesday, May 14th, 2014

A while back, we wrote about a company called B-TEMIA, who received funding from Revision Eyewear to develop a dermoskeleton mechanism to assist soldiers suffering from musculoskeletal injuries. Recently, B-TEMIA has announced Keeogo, a commercial motorized walking assistive device that was likely developed from that same technology.

Quebec, May 13, 2014 – B-TEMIA Inc. announces today the first public unveiling of Keeogo™ at the Canadian Seating Mobility & More Conference in Toronto.

Man-Walking1

Keeogo™ is a motorized walking assistive device worn on the lower body that provides individuals with the leg power they need to walk more, better and keep on going throughout their day. Keeogo™ is designed for individuals who have limited walking endurance or mobility issues resulting of muscle weakness, aging in general or due to a number of medical conditions including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease or a cardiovascular condition such as peripheral artery diseases.

“Regaining autonomy in mobility is so critical to an individual’s health and well being. We are excited to unveil Keeogo™ and look forward to helping many Canadians.” comments Mr. Stéphane Bédard, President and CEO of B-TEMIA.

Keeogo™ is being demonstrated this week at booth 103 at the Canadian Seating Mobility & More Conference in Toronto.
