Transverse Medical Inc

Description

• TRANSVERSE MEDICAL INC (TMI) is developing the *POINT-GUARD, the only cerebral embolic protection device with Dynamic Double-Edge Sealing designed to be adaptive for variable arch anatomy and aortic disease, while addressing the unmet clinical need by providing an innovative solution to safeguard the entire brain from stroke during left heart procedures. Initial focus is the market of Embolic Protection Devices used during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). TMI was the only EPD selected and Group Finalist for Game Changing and Potential Disruptor Technologies at CRF-SKIRBALL Interventional Innovation Corner during TCT 2016 SHARK TANK. Left heart procedures, such as TAVR or Surgical Aortic Valve Replacements (SAVR), carry an increased risk for stroke due to embolic debris releasing into the bloodstream and traveling to the brain. Three well-known and understood problems exists: (1) The placement of a new aortic valve triggers blood-borne debris & ischemia in the brain, (2) Blood-borne debris causes brain tissue death (ischemia), and, (3) Procedural debris leads to stroke (ischemia in the brain). The established evidence that 99% of all procedures in the SENTINEL data (JACC. 2016;10.023) show imaging evidence of new ischemic lesions in the brain is of great concern and demands attention. The clinical need for embolic protection devices due to the risk of stroke is well documented in the literature and discussed by key opinion leaders. In order to protect the brain, practitioners now openly emphasize the urgent clinical need for embolic protection devices during TAVR and other left heart procedures. The unmet clinical need for complete protection of the entire brain remains to be solved. Protecting all ostia of the great arch vessels is needed as partial protection has demonstrated limited benefit only to defined Protected Territories and non-significant overall protection for the brain as an entire organ. *Not Cleared for Human Use.
