InnAVasc Medical, Inc.
InnAVasc Medical, Inc. is a medical device company founded by Duke University surgeons and scientists, which designs and develops products for vascular access for hemodialysis. The Company’s first technology is an arteriovenous graft (AVG) modification that incorporates two multilayer cannulation chambers, with low bleed technology, that are resistant to posterior and sidewall needle penetration and injury: the Bullet Proof Vascular Access Graft.
This production method modifies existing synthetic vascular grafts for immediate hemodialysis access, prevents needle cannulation injuries, and facilitates graft access and safety.
