Colorado Springs Business Journal, Feb. 22, 2008 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - When Kevin Maher came up with a device to make his daughter's physical therapy sessions easier, he had no idea his invention would have military applications. When Maher originally contacted the FDA to get approval to sell the Vestimumax device, they suggested he call researchers to obtain the necessary studies to prove his product worked. The first place he called was UTMB, which agreed to work with him.
