Problem
Stroke, caused by blocked arteries in the brain, restricts blood flow and oxygen, leading to potential brain damage; however, access to advanced treatments like mechanical thrombectomy is limited, with 97% of the global population lacking access. This disparity in access hinders timely intervention and worsens outcomes for stroke victims worldwide.
Solution
Gravity Medical Technology aims to democratize stroke care by providing accessible and effective medical devices for restoring blood flow in blocked arteries. The company's Supernova stent retriever and Neutron reperfusion catheter are designed to work together to remove blood clots and re-establish blood flow to the brain. The Supernova is a stent-based thrombus retrieval device featuring a self-expanding laser-cut stent mounted on a wire shaft. The Neutron reperfusion catheter is designed for seamless integration with other components, facilitating a comprehensive approach to stroke intervention.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes medical professionals and healthcare providers involved in stroke treatment, particularly in regions with limited access to advanced stroke interventions.
