Ascent Healthcare Solutions is banking on the idea that one doctor's trash could be another doctor's treasure. The company is out to help hospitals with the three "R"s -- reduce, reuse, and recycle. Ascent focuses on reprocessing disposable medical devices for health care facilities (from small rural providers to surgery centers and group purchasing organizations). Its OR-based systems permit the collection of thousands of tons of devices marketed as "single-use," as well as a range of recyclable materials. After collecting the used devices, it cleans, sterilizes, tests, and then returns them from its centers in Florida and Arizona. The company is part of the MedSurg division of medical products maker Stryker.

Through its operating subsidiary, Astek Innovations, the London-based holding company designs, manufactures, and distributes hundreds of disposable single-use items used in dental offices worldwide, with about 50% of sales in the US. The company's most profitable product, the Pro-Tip, is a disposable air/water syringe tip created by the company's founder and CEO, Dr. Alan Segal, a practicing dentist. Other Astek products include Kromopan alginates (used to make dental impressions), Alma denture products, and the Pegasus line of dental products.

Don't hold your breath for an asthma cure, but breathe easier knowing that medical device developer Asthmatx is working on it. Whereas current treatments consist of inhaled medicines, Asthmatx has developed a more invasive outpatient treatment system based on what it calls Bronchial Thermoplasty to treat severe asthma. Delivered by a catheter through the nose or mouth, its Alair System uses heat to reduce the airway smooth muscles which constrict during an asthma attack. The Alair System received FDA approval in early 2010. Asthmatx is a wholly owned subsidiary of medical device giant Boston Scientific.
