Country of Origin: Germany
Reference Number: TRDE20210719001
Publication Date: 19 July 2021

Summary

A German company together with a project partner have developed a medical endovascular catheter to remove blood clots and thromboses from the human body. The tool features a refined design in the size range of <100 micrometres. They are seeking a suitable partner for the integration (assembly) of the device into a marketable product (complete catheter) in the form of a manufacturing agreement.
