Executive Summary
Neuravi Ltd.’s thrombus capture and removal device for acute stroke patients is designed to disengage offending clots from the wall of brain arteries, and then scaffold the clot inside a microfiber net during removal from the patient. The company thinks its technology represents a major advancement for the treatment of stroke because currently available products do not offer an effective clot disengagement system.
