Vascular imaging company InfraRed Imaging looking to raise $500,000

Though InfraRed Imaging hasn't registered any sales, it has something most young medical device companies would kill for: approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to sell its signature product. The Vascular Viewer uses near-infrared light to visualize superficial, and deeper veins and arteries. The company says the device increases clinicians’ accuracy while inserting a needle or catheter into a patient’s vein or artery, a process that’s usually done simply by sight and touch.

A Deep-dive Into Specialty Pharma

A specialty drug is a class of prescription medications used to treat complex, chronic or rare medical conditions. Although this classification was originally intended to define the treatment of rare, also termed “orphan” diseases, affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the US, more recently, specialty drugs have emerged as the cornerstone of treatment for chronic and complex diseases such as cancer, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS.
