A brace designed to help kids with cerebral palsy get around has won $30,000 in grant funding from a medical device accelerator program.
The "Move-D" elbow brace from Innovation Lab in Orange County, Calif., was one of five pediatric devices to win funding from the National Capital Consortium for Pediatric Device Innovation, a program funded by the FDA, MedTechSource reports.
"Many of these ideas come from clinicians who are working directly with patients and see where change is needed," says Ryan Kelly, general manager of Innovation Lab.
"I am so proud of this team for their work to advance Move-D toward market so it can make a positive difference in the lives of so many kids and adults."
