Protembis is a company that develops and delivers class III medical devices to improve patients' lives. Their team of experienced professionals brings innovative ideas from concept to clinical use.

Protembis

Protembis is an Aachen, Germany based medical device startup. It develops a novel catheter-based filter device for use during cardiac interventions. The device is designed to minimize the risk of stroke and other neurological injury during these interventions – particularly during transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedures (TAVR/ TAVI).

The filter blocks embolic debris from entering the blood vessels leading to the brain. The initial safety and feasibility of the ProtEmbo® device has been demonstrated in a first-in-human study in 2017/ 2018. The imaging data of the study suggests that the ProtEmbo® device decreases the risk of brain injury by up to 90%.

Protembis has closed an oversubscribed $10M Series A financing round in 2018 and expects to bring its product to market maturity with this round. Therefore the team plans to conduct further clinical studies in heart centers in Europe and the U.S.

The ProtEmbo® device is not yet commercially available.

Congratulations to the authors of this final study report Simone Fezzi Darren Mylotte Dariusz Jagielak Nikos Werner. Use of the ProtEmbo cerebral embolic protection system was very safe, and shown to significantly reduce clinically meaningful cerebral lesions that could lead to stroke after TAVR.  ProtEmbo is the only CEP deployed via the left radial artery, and was intuitive to use in the 10 sites by 14 different operators, it was deployed on average in ~4 minutes.
