medical specialties as oncology, neonatology, and endocrinology.
In 1976, he founded his first medical device company, AutoSyringe,
Inc., to manufacture and market the pumps. Then,
working with leading diabetes researchers, Dean pioneered
the design and adoption of the first portable insulin pump. It
was quickly demonstrated that using a pump could much more
effectively control patients' blood glucose levels. At age 30, he
sold AutoSyringe to Baxter Healthcare Corporation.
Following the sale of AutoSyringe, Inc., he founded DEKA
Research & Development Corporation to develop internally
generated inventions as well as to provide research and development
for major corporate clients. Kamen led DEKA's
development of the HomeChoice™ peritoneal dialysis system
for Baxter International Inc. The HomeChoice™ system allows
patients to be dialyzed in the privacy and comfort of their
home. It quickly became the worldwide market leader. Kamen
also led the development of technology to improve slide preparation
for the CYTYC (now Hologic Inc.) ThinPrep® Pap Test.
Kamen-led DEKA teams have also developed critical components
of the UVARTM XTSTM System, an extra corporeal photophereisis
device marketed by Therakos, a unit of Johnson
& Johnson, for treatment of T-Cell lymphoma. An advanced
prosthetic arm in development for DARPA should advance the
quality of life for returning injured soldiers. Other notable developments
include the Hydroflex™ surgical irrigation pump
for C.R. Bard, the Crown™ stent, an improvement to the original
Palmaz-Schatz stent, for Johnson & Johnson, the iBOTTM
mobility device, and the Segway® Human Transporter.
The medical device and biomaterials
industries undergo continual
innovation and change. Instron®
test
systems are available in both
standard and custom configurations
to help ensure that every new design
can be fully evaluated.
