EndoShunt: A 7 Fr Shunt for Abdominal Hemorrhage
MedTech Unboxed: Presented by Chamfr
When a patient is bleeding in the abdomen, surgeons often face a bad tradeoff: control the hemorrhage by shutting off blood flow, or keep circulation going while they race to find and repair the injury.
In this episode of MedTech Unboxed, Tyler Zanon, CEO of EndoShunt Medical, walks through a catheter-based shunt designed to control abdominal bleeding while maintaining distal flow. The team took the system from a 14 Fr concept to a low-profile 7 Fr device meant to fit existing trauma workflows.
Tyler also covers preclinical testing, why they moved final device assembly to Resonetics, and the funding and teamwork required to push toward 510(k) and a clinical pilot.
