The 91-Year-Old Company That Keeps America's Biggest Job Sites From Drowning
For 91 years, one Houston company has quietly answered a question nobody thinks about until their trench floods: where does all the water go?
CardioRenal Systems, Inc.
CardioRenal Systems is a Milford, Massachusetts medical device company developing RenalPro (marketed as RenalGuard outside the US), an automated fluid-management system that prevents acute kidney injury in high-risk hospital settings. By monitoring urine output in real time and matching IV hydration in milliliter increments, the system keeps patients balanced during cardiac surgery, catheter procedures, and ICU care. RenalPro holds FDA Breakthrough Device Designation and a CE Mark, and in a 220-patient randomized UK trial cut AKI by 52% versus standard care.
ImaCor, Inc.
ImaCor, Inc. is a New York medical-device company that built the world's first and only hemodynamic transesophageal echocardiography (hTEE) platform for the intensive care unit. Its miniaturized, disposable ClariTEE probe can stay safely in a critically ill patient for up to 72 hours, giving clinicians a continuous, direct window onto the heart - preload, contractility, and right- and left-ventricular function - so they can guide fluids and drugs in real time instead of guessing. In 2022 ImaCor and Clarius Mobile Health launched the FDA-cleared Zura Handheld Hemodynamic Ultrasound, a pocket-sized, 22-ounce TEE system that puts that window in a clinician's hand.
