View Medical was the second technology spin-out from Palmetto Biomedical — and one of the clearest examples of Dr. Boyd's ability to take an unmet surgical need from concept through intellectual property development, venture formation, and commercial launch. SurgiLight, developed through View Medical and commercialized by BihlerMED, is currently available for sale in the United States.

CuffWay is an early-stage medtech venture developing a device to automatically monitor and control endotracheal tube cuff pressure in real time. Dr. Boyd has worked closely with the founding team as an advisor and mentor — helping translate a clinician-identified problem into a disciplined medical device development pathway.

OrthoClip was the first technology spin-out from Palmetto Biomedical — and one of the clearest examples of how Dr. Boyd approaches innovation: start with a real clinical problem, create a protected solution, and build a venture around it.

LEGS Medical is developing a platform of manual mobility and rehabilitation devices designed to support individuals with impaired mobility — in the clinic and at home. The project illustrates Dr. Boyd's role in taking a user-driven clinical need and translating it into a mechanical device concept, a prototype development pathway, and a coherent venture strategy.

This Palmetto Biomedical invention addresses a straightforward but underappreciated challenge: what happens to a patient's quality of life when they leave the operating room wearing an external fixation device?
