Brian Haddigan: Beyond Stent Design – The Importance of Blood Compatibility
Brian Haddigan, Chief Executive Officer and Co Founder at Smart Reactors, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“What if the next breakthrough in venous stents isn’t the design, but the surface?
FDA post-market surveillance continues to receive reports of thrombosis, occlusion and restenosis associated with venous stents.
While these reports don’t measure complication rates, they reinforce that blood compatibility remains an important challenge.
Smart Reactors we’ve developed Camouflage, an ultra-thin, non-pharmacological hemocompatible coating designed to create a more blood-friendly surface, reducing platelet and fibrin adhesion while supporting natural healing.
The future of vascular implants includes solid engineering and smarter surfaces.
Could your next-generation device benefit from Camouflage?
Lets connect and find out..”
