Company
For precise, controlled, treatment of cardiovascular disease throughout the body, Minnow Medical, Inc., headquartered in San Diego, California, develops products to treat artery disease which can occur throughout the body, including the heart, neck, torso, and legs.
A team of experts and successful medical device veterans have developed a multi-use, proprietary catheter technology that identifies, selects and reduces atherosclerotic disease.
Minnow's uniquely focused technology addresses the unique dynamics of arteries, utilizes well-known device procedures and does not require an implant, such as a stent.
The company is initially targeting Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), "probably the most under-diagnosed and least aggressively managed" of the three vascular beds.
Minnow Medical, Inc. is currently involved in clinical studies.
Minnow Medical has filed both U.S. and International Utility patent applications covering various aspects of its technology. The first U.S patent was issued in 2007, #7,291,146 B2.
