Projectdetails

Introduction

We will revolutionise the medical field by replacing expensive, invasive and high-risk open-heart surgery with keyhole minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to treat coronary artery disease (CAD).

Technology Overview

Our ELANA technology enables reproducible coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery without the need for heart arrest and suturing, thus avoiding the need to open the patient's chest.

Innovative Approach

This is realised with an innovative clip which circumvents the need for suturing of blood vessels altogether. By realising closed-chest CABG, ELANA reduces not only the risks associated with traditional CABG, such as:

  • Bleeding
  • Stroke
  • Wound infection

Benefits

Moreover, ELANA significantly shortens recovery times. As a result, ELANA will reduce direct healthcare costs of CABG procedures by over 50%.

Funding Requirements

To critically de-risk our technological development and accelerate market entry to 2025, AMT Medical seeks a total of 7.5M funding:

  1. 2.5M grant
  2. 5M equity

This funding will be used to finalise clinical validation and gain market approval.
