Surmodics Announces Successful Early Clinical Use of Pounce™ XL Thrombectomy System, Suitable for Non-Surgical Removal of Thrombi and Emboli from Iliac and Femoral Arteries

“We’re excited about the positive feedback we’ve received from early users of the Pounce XL System,” said Gary Maharaj, President and Chief Executive Officer of Surmodics. “The addition of this larger-profile device to the Pounce Thrombectomy Platform fulfills our goal of providing physicians a standalone solution for rapid removal of acute or chronic peripheral arterial clot throughout the lower extremity. With hospitals under growing pressure to reduce costs, we believe the standalone Pounce Thrombectomy Platform may help reduce the need for hospitalizations and follow-up procedures.”

Clinical Trials

Peter Sackey further elaborated: “Once the 30-day follow-up of all patients is complete, we will enter into an intense phase of final monitoring, data cleaning and transfer to our statistician team for analysis. In parallel, the long-term outcomes at 3 and 6 months will be collected centrally by the Critical Illness, Brain Dysfunction, and Survivorship team at Vanderbilt Medical Center. With this parallel approach, we expect topline results in the autumn of this year and a swift regulatory submission in Q1, 2025”.

Indaptus Therapeutics Presents Positive Mechanism of Action Data at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting

Dr. Michael Newman, Indaptus’ Founder, Chief Scientific Officer, and lead author, commented, “The new data are consistent with our preclinical animal tumor model studies and provide evidence for our hypothesis that patented Decoy bacteria can activate a wide range of innate and adaptive human immune cells involved in fighting tumors.  This aligns with what we’ve observed in our ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of Decoy20 – broad immune activation, as evidenced by transiently increased levels of many key cytokines and chemokines following single dose administration. These findings bolster our confidence in Decoy20’s potential as a multifaceted immunotherapy.”

Why 3D Printers Are Ready to Transform Medical Device Design and Delivery | By Francois Minec, Global Head of 3D Polymers, HP Personalization & 3D Printing

One of healthcare’s scarier little secrets is how extremely tricky it can be to accurately place screws into spinal pedicles during surgery. In fact, a few years ago five experienced surgeons were reportedly asked to manually insert hardware used to strengthen fused vertebrae into cadavers. When researchers reviewed a follow-up CT scan, they found placement error rates as high as 41%. Even worse, 21 of the screws surgeons implanted penetrated the medial wall of the pedicles and entered the vertebral canals.
