About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

SafeHeal® Closes Oversubscribed €35 Million Series C Equity Financing

Financing led by Solar Eclipse with new investors Gideon Strategic Partners and M&L Healthcare, part of M&L Group, and returning investors Sofinnova Partners and one of the largest Multinational life sciences corporations from a strategic standpoint.

Proceeds will support the completion of SafeHeal's IDE pivotal study and preparation for commercial launch of their lead technology, Colovac®.

SafeHeal®, a leading innovator in the field of colorectal cancer surgery, today announced a successful completion of an oversubscribed €35 million Series C equity financing to validate the use of Colovac™, a groundbreaking temporary endoluminal fecal bypass system. Colovac is intended as an alternative to temporary diverting ostomy for patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection.

The proceeds leave SafeHeal well-funded to complete its IDE Pivotal study and accelerate preparation for commercial launch of their lead technology, Colovac.

In conjunction with the financing, Martin Sands and Steven Sands of Solar Eclipse will join as board member and observer respectively.

The Colovac endoluminal bypass system is a less-invasive alternative to temporary diverting ostomy, the current standard of care for patients undergoing colorectal resection. Diverting ostomy is applied prophylactically to most patients today undergoing a low anterior resection (LAR) and anastomosis. The ostomy temporarily diverts the stool away from the healing anastomosis to the outside of the body and into an ostomy bag. In most cases, the ostomy is needed only until the anastomosis has healed, and then it can be reversed, typically after 2-6 months. The eventual reversal of the ostomy requires another operation, with a second hospital stay, recovery period and associated complications. In some cases, the ostomy may not be reversed and becomes permanent. In addition to the potential surgical complications associated with ostomy procedures, patients may experience an impact to their quality of life due to social isolation, reduced physical activity and/or intimacy.

Colovac is an alternative to diverting ostomy, designed to eliminate the need for a temporary stoma in most patients. It aims to improve patient recovery and quality of life by eliminating stoma related complications including permanent stoma and eliminating the physical and emotional burden associated with stoma management and care.

Colovac has been successfully studied in over 100 patients in the U.S., Europe, and Asia and has received FDA Breakthrough Designation status.

“This is a very exciting time at SafeHeal as we continue to achieve a number of critical value-creating milestones in the coming months," said Chris Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are grateful for the continuing support from Sofinnova Partners and delighted to welcome Solar Eclipse, Gideon and M&L Healthcare, part of M&L Group as new investors. This capital raise places SafeHeal in an excellent position to continue our momentum toward FDA approval and commercialization of Colovac.”

"The current standard of care for treatment of Colon Resection is associated with significant morbidity, risk of permanent stoma and reduced quality of life, driving both the clinical community and regulators to search for better treatment options. SafeHeal is addressing this significant unmet medical need with a highly novel approach,” said Martin Sands of Solar Eclipse. “I believe SafeHeal's therapeutic platform will dramatically improve quality of life and outcomes for patients with Colon Resections. I look forward to supporting the team to achieve multiple key milestones over the next 18 months."

“We’ve been with SafeHeal since day one, when it was born out of our Medtech accelerator, MDStart. Our continued support in this Series C reflects a deep growing belief in their potential to revolutionize care for patients facing ostomy,” said Antoine Papiernik, Chairman and Managing Partner at Sofinnova Partners.

About SafeHeal®

SafeHeal SAS, headquartered in Paris, France, and its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, SafeHeal Inc., is a clinical-stage medical device company developing Colovac, a device intended as an alternative to diverting ostomy in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. Colovac is a flexible endoluminal bypass sheath designed to reduce the contact of fecal content at the anastomotic site following colorectal surgery. The device is placed endoluminally and is fully reversible. The device remains in place for 7-10 days, until the body’s natural healing and tissue repair processes are complete, after which it is removed during an endoscopic procedure without the need for a second surgical intervention. This enables patients to resume their normal life without the stigma and complications associated with an ostomy procedure. Colovac is an investigational device, not currently available for sale.
