Devices using Shape Memory Polymer materials

Shape Memory Medical Inc. specializes in innovative medical technologies centered around the use of smart polymers, particularly in the field of vascular embolization. Their flagship products, such as the IMPEDE Embolization Plug and the TrelliX Embolic Coil, utilize shape memory polymer (SMP) technology to enhance clinical outcomes. These devices are designed to conform to the patient's anatomy, providing stable occlusion and promoting rapid clot formation through their high-volume, porous structure. The regenerative properties of the smart polymer stimulate the body's immune response, facilitating healthy cellular growth while the material bioabsorbs, thereby minimizing chronic inflammation and improving healing processes.

The unique characteristics of these smart polymers also include radiolucency, which significantly enhances visibility during and after procedures, allowing for better monitoring and assessment. Clinical studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of these devices in various applications, including the treatment of intracranial aneurysms and other vascular abnormalities. Shape Memory Medical's commitment to advancing smart polymer technology positions them at the forefront of medical innovation, with ongoing research and development aimed at expanding their product offerings and improving patient outcomes in vascular interventions.

United States

Shape Memory Medical is dedicated to developing innovative embolization solutions for peripheral vascular, cardiovascular, and neurovascular markets. We are the first medical device company to introduce an FDA-cleared medical device utilizing shape memory polymer (SMP) technology (smart polymer) to a vascular market. We look towards what lies ahead, as we develop an aortic portfolio to address clinical needs and shape the future of 
sealing and healing.
