Aeos Biomedical
Aeos Biomedical, co-founded by Colin O’Neill (BASc ’10, IGEN), is an early stage medical device company. Their lead product, Target Tape, is a disposable adhesive tape with radiopaque locational markings, used with medical imaging. Target Tape is applied to the patient’s skin over the area of interest. The locational markings then appear on the medical scan image. When Target Tape is removed, it leaves behind an ink imprint of the locational markings, allowing the doctor to correlate and localize between the scan image and the patient’s skin. The two founders are alumni from Applied Science and the Sauder School of Business. They conceived of the Target Tape product as part of the 09/10 New Venture Design program. www.aeosbiomedical.com
