Pro2Cool Head Cooling Device Shows Promise in Adolescent Athletes: Clinical Study ⬇️ 🌟 In a recent article published in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers examined the efficacy of the investigational head cooling device, pro2cool, on 167 adolescent athletes aged 12 to 19, including both males and females. The study took place across six pediatric medical centers in Ohio and Michigan. 📑 The research revealed that utilizing cool therapy resulted in a 14.4% decrease in a Sports Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT5) symptom severity score during the initial post-treatment visit, a 25.5% reduction at the 17-hour post-treatment visit, and a 3.4% further reduction by the 10th day visit. 📉 In summary, the study underscores the effectiveness and safety of the head and neck cooling device in managing concussion symptoms among adolescent athletes. ❄️ This groundbreaking data represents the first of its kind, filling a significant gap in knowledge as there has been limited or no prior data available for this specific age group. 📊 Nottingham Unlimited Ventures has been engaged since the inception of the device and the formation of the venture. Together with our fellow investors, we eagerly anticipate the widespread availability of this solution in the field of sports. 🏟️ #ConcussionManagement #YouthAthletes #ClinicalResearch #SportsMedicine #SportsMedicine #ResearchHighlight #FirstOfItsKind #DataInsights #InvestmentJourney #SportsInnovation https://lnkd.in/gCUnZVqg Alison Nottingham Bill Nottingham Cleveland Ohio Ohio

What is a ‘VC Backable’ Venture? In the venture capital (VC) world, over 90% of startups fail. So, if you are Startup Founder, then ask yourself, “Why would anyone invest in my company, considering startups are among one of the highest risk areas? Why would my company outperform others that will most likely fail?” As it’s known, founders rely on VCs for crucial support beyond just funding. They seek expertise, guidance, and networking opportunities to navigate the complexities of scaling their business. Founders value long-term partnerships with VCs who are committed to the success and growth of the company following it to the very end, while providing ongoing support and strategic insight throughout its journey. At Nottingham Unlimited Ventures and InnovateNOW Venture Studio, our team has over 23 years of hands-on experience as innovators, spanning from the inception of over 41 global patents to the successful launch and acquisition of numerous startup companies.

Our investment to Sterifre Medical, Inc. represents a significant stride forward for healthcare, service, and patient well-being. 💼✨ #healthcareinnovation #patientcare #ImpactfulInvestment 🌟 As of February 23, 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has flagged heightened influenza-like illness activity across the United States, with many regions experiencing an uptick and some areas showing a surge. 🦠📈 This heightened influenza-like illness activity underscores the importance of thorough hygiene practices, especially regarding commonly touched surfaces like electronic devices. Despite using disinfectant wipes, these devices may still harbor contaminants, potentially contributing to the spread of illness. In fact, up to 52% of devices may remain contaminated even after the use of disinfectant wipes. https://lnkd.in/gWbEG6Gd Therefore, it's essential to regularly clean and sanitize devices to minimize the risk of transmission. 🧼📱 Sterifre is an automated device disinfection at the point of care.🌟 Utilizing patented technology and trusted disinfectants, the system offers broad material compatibility and broad-spectrum efficacy.

As spring sports season approaches, it's crucial to be vigilant about the risk of concussions. 🌱 Whether it's soccer ⚽, lacrosse 🥍, baseball ⚾, or track and field 🏃♂️, athletes engage in high-intensity activities where collisions and falls are common. Concussions, often overlooked or downplayed, can have serious consequences, affecting cognitive function and long-term brain health. Pro2cool (a Cleveland-based startup) has developed a breakthrough medical device that is being fast-tracked through the FDA. The goal is to be the first therapeutic device to offer a protocol, as it relates to a sports-related concussion. Proper education, equipment, and protocols for recognizing and managing concussions are paramount. Coaches, parents, and athletes alike must prioritize safety, ensuring that any suspected head injuries are promptly evaluated by medical professionals to prevent further harm and facilitate a safe return to play. ⛑️ pro2cool by Tectraum is a highlighted investment of the Nottingham Unlimited Ventures investment portfolio Cleveland Ohio Akron Children's Hospital InnovateNOW Venture Studio
