ITHACA — ZetrOZ, LLC, an Ithaca–based manufacturer of medical and therapeutic ultrasound technology, won the Empact 100 People’s Choice award.
Empact 100 recognizes the top 100 companies in the country run by entrepreneurs age 30 or younger. The list is collaboration of Empact, which works to foster entrepreneurship around the world, and the Startup America Partnership, a White House initiative aimed at young companies.
ZetrOZ was a part of the Empact Showcase, from which the final Empact 100 list was chosen. The company did not make the final list, but won the People’s Choice award with four other companies through public voting. The firm was honored with the other Empact 100 companies at a White House event on Sept. 28.
ZetrOZ’s device is slated to launch in 2013. It is designed as a non-pharmaceutical alternative to pain treatments, according to the company.
“We’re proud to receive this award and excited that our product is hitting a nerve with people suffering from chronic pain around the world,” George Lewis, ZetrOZ chief science officer, said in a news release. “We’ve only just begun to see the true impact that wearable ultrasonic rehabilitation can have.”
