Moose Medical Patent Fund

Moose Medical, LLC started as a senior design project for Jenna Smith and Kylie Wright as they finished their biomedical engineering degrees at Ole Miss. As part of the assignment, they had to find a solution to an unmet need in the medical community. Through this, they created The Antler.

The Antler allows lower limb amputees to shower standing independently, something no other device on the market allows. It began as a way to help their friend Nikki, a lower limb amputee and senior at Ole Miss, regain her independence and restore a sense of normalcy after her amputation. The company was named Moose Medical after Nikki’s service dog, Moose.

The Antler is an independent shower support stand that allows amputees to shower while standing while also allowing the opportunity to wash the residual limb. While showering is an often overlooked luxury, having to sit in the shower is a loss of independence and convenience for amputees. The Antler is portable, lightweight, and adjustable in height to work for every level of amputation.

In order to continue to produce The Antler and make a difference in the lives of amputees, Moose Medical must obtain a design and utility patent on the device. While The Antler is currently protected under a provisional patent, the company needs help raising money to obtain a full patent and trademark with USPTO.

Money raised will go directly to paying to protect the company’s intellectual property and to acquiring molds to be able to produce the device through injection molding. This process is very expensive, and two new college graduates need help to achieve Moose Medical’s dream and continue to improve the quality of life for amputees.

Any donation will go a long way in achieving this goal and helping those with limb loss regain their independence. Thank you for your help!
