Free Innovation Workshop: Technologies for vascular surgery

Translate MedTech, Grow MedTech and NIHR Surgical MedTech Co-operative are collaborating to run an innovation workshop to explore technology solutions in areas of vascular surgery. Through consultations with clinicians, the following areas have been identified as unmet needs that could have potentially disruptive technology solutions.

• Sensors for early detection of muscle death in diabetic patients
• Novel vascular stents
• Spray technologies for endoluminal thrombolysis

The workshop will further explore these clinical needs before going on to develop initial ideas for innovative technologies.
