About Cerovations
Cerovations, founded by three medical device executives, is a Minnesota-based medical device company focused on bringing innovations to neurocritical care. Currently, the team is advancing a promising new neurosurgical technology — OsmoFloTM Bimodal Therapy — for treating cerebral edema secondary to severe traumatic brain injury.
The OsmoFlo system will soon enter early-stage clinical trials with funding from a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant1 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
