Oxford Endovascular
Series A in 2024
Oxford Endovascular develops a neurovascular device to treat brain aneurysms. The device uses origami-inspired engineering with a laser-cut metal alloy that has shape-memory, enabling a catheter-delivered implant to expand into a tiny mesh tube that conforms to the vessel. By diverting blood flow away from the aneurysm, it promotes healing and reduces the risk of rupture.
