About Through The Cords

Through The Cords: Changing The Future By Design At Through The Cords, we are dedicated to revolutionizing difficult airway management with innovative designs and disruptive business models. Our mission is clear and impactful—Changing The Future By Design. Led by our founder, Dr. Sean Runnels, we aim to make advanced airway management accessible and affordable worldwide. Our Business Theory We use the unique challenges in developing countries to drive innovation in airway management methods and equipment. Our business model follows the principles of Disruptive Innovation by leveraging the design and economic pressures in the developing world to create profitable solutions. We believe established medical device companies will face challenges in responding to the upcoming low-cost medical environment, similar to the struggles of the American auto industry during the 1970s oil crisis. Our Journey Managing airways and training anesthesia providers in low-resource settings presents unique challenges. Dr. Runnels faced these challenges firsthand during his time in Africa, where he managed difficult airways with local anesthesia providers. In developed countries, fiber optic intubation is the gold standard for managing difficult airways, but it's impractical in low-resource settings due to cost and fragility. Dr. Runnels, having gained experience in this area, is now exploring better ways to manage difficult airways in such settings. Join Us on Our Mission Through The Cords is committed to creating a future where advanced airway management is accessible to all, regardless of geographic or economic constraints. We invite you to join us on this mission and help shape the future of healthcare.
