FormaPath
FormaPath is revolutionizing pathology through automation, empowering technicians with robotics and AI-equipped tools to deliver high-quality results consistently. Their platform offers benefits such as improved quality and efficiency for grossing labs through automated compressive filtration (AdiPress) which aids in separating lymph nodes for accurate staging. They also provide a solution for small biopsy grossing that ensures consistent throughput and reduces backlogs. Their grossing lab robotics enable staff to process more samples efficiently within turnaround times. Key products include AdiPress, which uses proprietary Automated Compressive Filtration to compress fatty specimens and isolate lymph nodes, and LymFilter, a single-use container that aids in the recovery of lymph nodes within fatty cancer tissue. The company emphasizes recovering more lymph nodes, accurate lymph node assessment without altering morphology, and confident cancer staging due to increased lymph node yield. FormaPath's team comprises medical veterans and product experts with deep industry experience.
