Why "TRIFID" Medical Group??

Most frequently asked question of the emerging medical device incubator is answered

Tuesday, May 1, 2001

"Why 'TRIFID' Medical Group?", ask most readers who learn of the emerging new medical device product developer.  "We saw a strong similarity between the function of our medical device incubator and that of the astronomical entity called M20 Trifid Nebula", explains Robert Virag, principal of the firm.  

"The Trifid Nebula is a powerful multicolored cloud of cosmic gases and dust particles that are quickly organizing to form fiery hot young stars.  Like our company, the Trifid nebula is formed of three units, each emitting a different wavelength of energy as the new stars form within." 

"The TRIFID Medical Group is also comprised of three units that focus in areas of respiratory, anesthesiology, and critical care medicine.  We have developed a new product development engine to connect and pull together innovators who identify key problems and unmet needs in the clinical environment with seasoned designers, manufacturers, and distributors to make the innovators ideas a commercial reality.  Only when the product demonstrates commercial success will the ideas be presented to the large medical device manufacturing firms to consider acquisition", says Virag. 

"Like the Trifid Nebula in the constellation Sagittarius, the business of TRIFID Medical Group is to give birth to the brightest shining objects in the universe."
