Racing Against the Clock to Save Lives.

❗The Problem

Imagine your child, a sibling, your spouse, or your friend is in a car accident or suffering cardiac arrest and they need a breathing tube to help save their life. Seconds matter — and one of the most urgent
procedures is placing a breathing tube.

We have created a tool to help emergency teams do that faster and more successfully. Imagine what will happen if that breathing tube cannot be placed? Brain death or death can occur. With your support, we can bring it to the frontlines and save lives.

Main Story
After more than 40 years in medicine — including decades as an anesthesiologist — I have seen firsthand how high the stakes are when someone cannot breathe. Whether in an operating room, an ambulance, or a war zone, placing a breathing tube quickly can mean the difference between life and death.

That’s why I helped design the Novelet™ Stylet, a simple but powerful device that allows medics, EMTs, and ER doctors to better align a breathing tube with a patient’s unique anatomy — without removing the tube and trying again. It’s real-time adjustability for a procedure where time is everything.

We have completed the prototype. We’ve gathered enthusiastic feedback from clinicians in both civilian and military settings. We have spoken to physicians who work at some of the country’s leading hospitals — and they agree: this tool fills a critical need.
But before we can bring it to patients, we need help with three crucial next steps:
• Completing patent work - 3400- 10,000$
• Conducting further validation testing - Simulation Lab- 5-8000$

We are asking for your support — not just as donors, but as advocates who believe in innovation that can save lives. Every dollar helps us take this device from a breakthrough idea to a real solution in the hands of those who need it most.
If you can give, thank you. If you can share this campaign with others, that helps just as much.
Together, let us help those in need when seconds count





✅ The Solution

The Novelet™ Stylet is a flexible device that allows real-time tip adjustment — no removal needed.
It saves time, improves success rates, and reduces trauma during one of the most high-risk procedures in medicine.
• Patent is already in examination, with multiple claims allowed
• We’ve built working prototypes
• Simulation lab validation is lined up and ready
• The military is exploring 3D-printing options for field medics


Why We’re Asking for Help

I’ve funded this project out of pocket through retirement, because I believe in it. Now, we need a final push to:
• Complete the patent filing
• Begin engagement with contract manufacturers
• Launch simulation lab testing with clinicians and EMS teams

Your donation will directly support this medical startup’s next step — no salaries, no fluff.


What You’ll Receive

We’re not offering a product (yet), but you’ll get:
• Your name listed on our public thank-you wall
• Exclusive progress updates from me, the founder
• A real chance to help improve airway safety in hospitals, ambulances, and the battlefield

Thank you for believing in this mission.
