Start-Up Spotlight: Vetex Brings Clot-Removal Technology To Venous System
Executive Summary
The venous thrombectomy market has historically been under-served, especially compared to the arterial thrombectomy space, because the venous clots are more challenging to remove mechanically. But Galway, Ireland-based Vetex believes their technology, which combines a grasping and rotating action, will become the first-choice treatment for removal of large, difficult-to-remove venous clots in patients with venous thrombo-embolism, without the need for thrombolytic drugs.
