NeuRx Medical is developing the NeuRx Sweeper™, a low-profile adjunct catheter designed to remove organized, adherent clot during thrombectomy for deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Founded by medical-device commercialization executive Timothy Clark, the company uses a radially expanding nitinol capture node to apply mechanical traction where aspiration alone can leave residual thrombus. The investigational device has completed bench and animal feasibility testing, while NeuRx advances it toward FDA 510(k) clearance.
ThrombolexBuilt around physician Riyaz Bashir’s BASHIR™ platform, Thrombolex makes endovascular catheters that combine mechanical clot fragmentation with targeted thrombolytic delivery for arterial and venous thromboembolic conditions. The New Britain, Pennsylvania medical-device manufacturer markets multiple FDA-cleared devices, including catheters with expandable infusion baskets designed to restore blood flow in peripheral and pulmonary vessels. Its leadership and clinical programs draw on more than 100 years of combined experience and partnerships across the medical field.NEW BRITAIN, PA
