Breakthrough technology for high-risk PCI and cardiogenic shock patients
Just because a surgical procedure is minimally invasive doesn’t mean it isn’t without risk. In fact, U.S. patients with advanced coronary disease undergo over 440,000 high-risk procedures each year to open up blocked arteries via catheters.
The cutting-edge percutaneous ventricular assist device (pVAD) developed by Supira Medical is designed to temporarily support the native pumping action of the heart during these necessary interventional procedures, as well as while patients recover from severe heart attacks. The company’s Supira System stands at the forefront of medical innovation, earning the coveted U.S. Food and Drug Administration Breakthrough Designation for medical devices that provide more effective treatment of potentially life-threatening or irreversible conditions or diseases.
With high-flow capabilities from a low-profile catheter pump, Supira’s technology is designed to provide full hemodynamic support and minimize vascular complications. The device offers real-time, accurate monitoring of pump performance and provides a robust platform to help physicians better treat their patients.
“Supira Medical is committed to developing a differentiated solution that provides a meaningful clinical benefit for patients requiring hemodynamic support. Early clinical experience shows tremendous promise for the Supira System, demonstrating that physicians see significant value in our approach. We are thankful for the strong partnership with Unorthodox Ventures as we look to expand our clinical program and advance the regulatory process to disrupt the standard of care for these patients.”
