“Providing a safe, effective and long-lasting method for vascular access is a significant challenge in hemodialysis treatment for patients with kidney failure,” said Darshana Zaveri. “Conventional methods such as surgical arteriovenous fistulas (AVF), arteriovenous grafts, or central venous catheters have not adequately met this need. Venova Medical’s technology aims to overcome the limitations of these traditional approaches, offering a transformative solution for patients dependent on hemodialysis”.
“Despite decades of tremendous efforts from healthcare providers, the vast majority of patients starting dialysis do so with a central venous catheter, subjecting them to increased risk of morbidity and mortality and cost to the U.S. healthcare system as compared to the safer AVF procedure,” stated Erik van der Burg, CEO of Venova Medical. “We believe that the Velocity pAVF System will become the new standard of care and reduce the barriers preventing a majority of patients from starting dialysis with an AVF.”
