About
Flow Medical is a Chicago-based medical technology company dedicated to improving the treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE), a serious cardiovascular condition affecting around 900,000 Americans each year. The company is developing a minimally invasive thrombolysis catheter that can diagnose and treat blood clots in the lungs using a single device. This catheter features a unique nitinol scaffold that expands within the clot, delivering a clot-busting drug directly to the site while allowing for high-pressure diagnostic angiography. The system accesses the lungs through the femoral artery and heart, combining diagnostic and therapeutic functions to enhance patient outcomes and streamline treatment. Flow Medical aims to set a new standard of care for interventional PE treatment by addressing gaps in current therapies. The company recently secured $5 million in seed funding to advance its technology and initiate first-in-human studies. Flow Medical's innovative approach is designed to provide a safer and more effective treatment option for patients and clinicians alike.
