Here are a few teasers from the top 100:

HeartWare Inc. (NASDAQ:HTWR) – Received FDA clearance last year for a left ventricle assist device for heart failure patients awaiting heart transplant.

AxoGen Inc. (NASDAQ:AXGN) – Wants to equip surgeons with better tools to repair and protect peripheral nerves.
