About
Fluid Biomed Inc. is a Calgary-based medical device start-up founded by neurosurgeons Dr. John Wong and Dr. Alim Mitha. The company focuses on developing a unique polymer-based flow-diverting stent aimed at treating brain aneurysms. This innovative stent diverts blood flow away from weak blood vessels, promoting healing and reducing complications associated with traditional stents. The core product is a hybrid polymer-metal stent that is flexible, self-expanding, and delivered using standard angiographic techniques. Its dissolving polymer scaffold supports endothelial cell growth, allowing the blood vessel to heal naturally. Over time, the polymer integrates into the vessel wall and dissolves, minimizing residual material. This design enhances patient safety and reduces the need for invasive follow-up procedures and long-term blood thinners. Fluid Biomed's technology targets neurosurgeons and interventional radiologists, as well as healthcare institutions focused on stroke and neurovascular care. The company is advancing through scientific, regulatory, and financing milestones to bring its innovative stent to market, aiming to improve patient outcomes globally.
