HemaSense

Early Bleed Detection, Accelerated Recovery

HemaSense is Improving patient outcomes and reducing costs of percutaneous interventions by providing healthcare professionals the first early alert system for bleeding complications at the access site during post-op recovery.

Clinical Need

Over 46 million percutaneous endovascular interventional procedures were performed worldwide in 2023, with an expected CAGR of 5-7%.

Approximately 5% of those endovascular procedures result in painful and costly access site bleeding complications.

When a clinically significant bleeding complication occurs, patients experience longer hospital stays, secondary procedures and increased mortality and morbidity.

The Solution

HemaSense is developing an access site monitor which is used during patient recovery to provide early detection and alert of subcutaneous bleeding events.

The HemaSense monitor seamlessly integrates with existing patient recovery workflow and enables early, less costly interventions for patients when small amounts of blood are beginning to accumulate outside the femoral vessel.

Our Team

The HemaSense team has decades of experience in medical device design and development, and a deep clinical background in percutaneous interventions.
