Research and Development of a Pharmacogenetic Buccal Swab for use in DNA Custom Medicine Genetic Testing$188Kvalue2021start2022end

Granville Biomedical has identified a Canadian market opportunity to develop and validate a novel buccal swab for oral cellular specimen collection which meets regulatory and customer needs.

Implementation of Advanced Composite Tissue Material$187Kvalue2020start2021end

For this project, Granville Biomedical intends to develop anatomically accurate 3D printed procedural task trainers, which faithfully replicate human tissue and organs, as well as develop 3D printed equipment for use by health care providers.

Material Advancement and Medical Discipline Expansion of Surgical Task Trainers$87.8Kvalue2019start2020end

In this project Granville Biomedical Inc. will conduct R&D in order to: 1. Expand the suite of anatomically precise 3D models in the OB/GYN product line, 2. Develop 3D models for alternate medical disciplines, 3. Develop novel material recipes in order to produce anatomically accurate properties of composite tissue to be used in GBI models, and 4. Commence the development of an Augmented Reality (AR) simulation-based training platform to be used in collaboration with the OB/GYN models.

Research and Development of a Women's Health Anatomical Pelvic Health Model with Uterus$75.0Kvalue2022start2023end

Granville Biomedical has identified an opportunity to advance our novel pelvic health model to create a more complex anatomical structure, which includes the addition of a life-like uterus. The international demand has been voiced by market-leading medical device manufacturing companies, leading Canadian university research teams, as well as by international pelvic health practitioners.

Development of a Pelvic Health Educational Learning Platform and Clinical Teaching Application$75.0Kvalue2026start2027end

Granville Biomedical is seeking support to advance the research and development of an educational learning platform which will integrate with the company’s pelvic health anatomy simulation products.

Development of a Women’s Anatomical Model for Custom 3D Printed Biocompatible Pessary Fitting Simulation$75.0Kvalue2023start2023end

Granville Biomedical has identified an international market opportunity to develop an anatomical uterus model for the purpose of demonstrating and educating health care providers and patients in the measurement, fitting, placement, insertion, and removal of custom pessaries. Pessaries are prosthetic devices that are inserted into the vaginal canal to address conditions such as urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. Such devices are typically prescribed and fitted by a clinician; however technology has advanced to provide opportunities for the 3D printing of biocompatible custom pessary

Validation and Commercialization of Novel Anatomical Models$74.9Kvalue2024start2025end

The Firm has identified an opportunity to validate and commercialize their product line of anatomical models within women’s health. In direct response to market demand, Granville is also seeking to validate two recently developed models, which will expand the existing product line and create new international opportunities to increase revenue. The proposed series of bench test studies in this project are required to validate two recently developed models and to commercialize the complete Granville product line of women's health educational models.

Research and Development of a Cervical Educational Model for Clinical Training and Patient Education$67.8Kvalue2023start2024end

Granville Biomedical has identified an opportunity to partner with a national cancer care society and an Oncology Pelvic Health Professional to develop an educational model with removable cervix components that creates a more advanced training method for identifying and detecting cervical disorders, conditions, and pathologies. The focus of this project is to research, develop, and validate a series of novel interchangeable cervical openings, which accurately reflect the visual cues associated with precancerous conditions and cancer-related pathologies.
