Contego Medical, founded in 2005, has developed a family of novel emboli protection devices. The main feature of each device is that the treatment portion (i.e., balloon or stent) is on the same catheter as the embolic protection device, thus coupling the two together. This device can act as an angioplasty balloon with an integrated emboli protection device. If a stent is mounted on the balloon, it can serve as a stent with an integrated emboli protection device. We know that embolization occurs with all angioplasty and stenting procedures. It is usually hard to predict which ones will result in clinical sequalae. Despite knowing that embolization is ubiquitous, embolic protection devices are not used in all procedures as they add complexity, time, and cost. Dedicated devices do not exist for renal intervention, although the majority of physicians say they would use one if it existed. Contego Medical’s family of embolic protection devices represent a paradigm shift in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
Wolff Medical Supply is a New York, NY-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
In 2015, five seminal randomized controlled trials were published in the neurovascular space demonstrating endovascular thrombectomy to be the new gold standard for treating large vessel occlusion strokes. During that same year, advancements in artificial intelligence and deep learning made it possible to analyze medical imaging rapidly and accurately. However, despite having proven effective interventions for stroke, most stroke patients were getting treatment late or not at all. At Stanford University, Dr. Chris Mansi (neurosurgeon) and Dr. David Golan (machine learning researcher) identified this problem and together they sought to change it.
