The CFB was proud to support our clients, Ergami Endoscopy and FASS, who were each announced as winners of $50,000 after pitching their business plans to a panel of judges assembled by FuzeHub at the recent New York State Innovation Summit.

FuzeHub is a not-for-profit organization that supports small and medium-sized manufacturing companies in New York State, hosts this annual as part of the ESD-supported FuzeHub Jeff Lawrence Innovation Fund.

Ergami Endoscopy, based in New York City, is developing a low-cost robotic colonoscope insertion solution to improve procedure productivity; reduce patient pain and need for sedation; and reduce endoscopy-related injuries in endoscopists and nurses.

FASS is a unique syringe system that uses a rotating mechanism to switch between two needles in a single device, eliminating the need for manual switching of needles. Developed by an ER nurse after witnessing the dangers of needlestick injuries firsthand, FASS is designed to improve safety and efficiency in high-pressure environments like the ER and psychiatric units, where patients can be agitated.
