VenoStent, Inc. is a clinical-stage tissue engineering company based in Nashville, Tennessee, with an additional office in Houston, Texas. Founded in 2017, it specializes in the development of bioresorbable smart polymers designed to enhance vascular surgery outcomes. The company’s primary product, SelfWrap, is a perivascular wrap that functions as an external stent, providing mechanical support to veins and promoting outward growth. This innovative technology aims to reduce complications at the vein-artery junction in dialysis patients, particularly by minimizing vein collapse and improving the usability of arteriovenous fistulas (AVF). By utilizing a new class of shape-memory polymers that do not require sutures, VenoStent's approach reduces surgery time and lowers the risk of infection, ultimately enhancing the quality and length of life for patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.
