CONTEGO MEDICAL

Contego Medical has developed a family of novel embolic protection devices. The main feature of each device is that the treatment portion (i.e., balloon or stent) is on the same catheter as the embolic protection device, thus coupling the two together. This device can act as an angioplasty balloon with an integrated embolic protection device. If a stent is mounted on the balloon, it can serve as a stent with an integrated embolic protection device. Contego Medical also specializes in the develo... pment of novel embolic protection devices for cardiovascular and peripheral vascular procedures. The company’s integrated embolic protection (IEP) platform, which combines embolic protection and treatment into one device, is designed to simplify catheter-based procedures and improve patient outcomes.More
