umbili-GUARD™, an innovation in infant security

In an exciting step forward, Divergent Medical Technologies has received both a U.S. Patent and a U.S. Trademark on our newest product: umbili-GUARD™, the next generation of Supervised Umbilical Clamp Transponder Tag.

The multi-year project was a collaboration between Divergent Medical Technologies and research engineers at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). As of August 2024, Divergent now has an officially patented wireless tag design which combines the latest in infant security technology with traditional clamp ergonomics.

The original concept developed by Dean Trivisani, President of Divergent Medical Technologies in Oakland, New Jersey, was presented to student engineers and scientists at RIT who worked together with Trivisani to invent and successfully test a new prototype device which has both location tracking and, more importantly, tamper detection capabilities. The transponder tag is designed to be inserted into the hinge of widely available, standard umbilical cord clamps, including Divergent’s own umbili-GRIP™ or umbili-CLAMP™.

The new umbilical clamp and transponder pair will be available soon as part of Divergent’s product and service lineup. For more information, please contact your local representative, email [email protected] or call 1-877-651-0060
