Metactive Medical, Inc., a medical device company developing innovative products for peripheral vascular and neurovascular diseases, announced today that it has changed its name to Artio Medical, Inc. effective immediately.
“The corporate name change marks an important milestone as we progress toward commercialization,” said F. Nicholas Franano, MD, President and CEO of Artio Medical. “Artio is a Latin word meaning to place with a tight fit, which aligns with our strategy to design medical devices for precision placement and a hand-to-glove fit.”

The organization has since grown to include a team of exceptionally talented medical device professionals and expanded its focus to include flexible polymer implants to address a wide range of clinical needs and market opportunities, including artery, vein, and vascular aneurysm embolization. In conjunction with the corporate name change, the company has unveiled its new logo and website.
