| Laminate Medical | Laminate Medical Technologies is developing a new, external support device for AV fistulas, to be implanted during the fistula creation surgical procedure. The VasQ Device alleviates wall tension and regulates fistula geometry where an undesired narrowing of the vein and/or frequent blockages of the blood vessels may occur during the firstyear. Use of Laminate Medical Technology’s novel device aims to drive a change in the hemodialysis vascular access treatment paradigm and bring about a significant reduction in the annual fistula failure rate, thereby reducing kidney-failure related complications, re-interventions, and the cost burden of vascular access complications. | $12M | Series C | Jan 31, 2019 | http://www.laminatemedical.com/ |
