SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Shape Memory Medical Inc., developer of custom shape memory polymers for endovascular markets, announced that Edward \u201cTed\u201d Ruppel, President and CEO, is scheduled to speak on Wednesday, March 19<\/span>th<\/sup>, 2025 during the LSI USA Emerging Medtech Summit, an event that brings industry-leading executives and financiers together to further healthcare innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Ted\u2019s presentation will showcase unmet needs in aortic vascular conditions and describe how the development of shape memory polymer technology is positioned to address and provide meaningful solutions. Ted will highlight clinical milestones, including the AAA-SHAPE and FLAGSHIP aortic trials, as well as market potential and venture and partnership opportunities.<\/p>\n

Presentation Details
\n<\/b>March 19, 2025 at 3:10 \u2013 3:19 pm PDT
\nWaldorf Astoria, Monarch Beach
\nDana Point, California<\/p>\n

The Company\u2019s proprietary bioresorbable shape memory polymer offers a unique, more conformable solution that adapts seamlessly to the patient\u2019s anatomy, filling the treatment area without exerting unnecessary force, compared with traditional metal embolization devices. Additionally, its radiolucent properties enhance imaging clarity during procedures and follow-up assessments, benefiting all imaging modalities.<\/p>\n

\u201cShape Memory Medical\u2019s smart polymer technology offers a different approach to embolization and opens the door to other innovative ideas that have the promise to be truly transformative,\u201d explained Ruppel.<\/p>\n

The Company\u2019s IMPEDE and IMPEDE-FX Embolization Plugs are commercially used in over 30 countries. Shape Memory Medical is studying new clinical applications and has initiated AAA-SHAPE \u2013 Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Sac Healing and Prevention of Expansion, a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label trial to determine the safety and effectiveness of the IMPEDE-FX RapidFill\u00ae Device to improve abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) sac behavior, when used with elective endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Enrollment will continue through 2025. The company is also planning to launch its FLAGSHIP trial in 2025, building on initial first-in-human experience in Japan, to evaluate an innovative, large-diameter shape memory polymer system designed for false lumen embolization in aortic dissection.<\/p>\n

Shape Memory Medical Inc. is dedicated to developing innovative therapeutic solutions with its proprietary shape memory polymers, with devices approved in more than 30 countries spanning regions in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, the Americas and Australia. Neurovascular embolization products include the TrelliX\u00ae Embolic Coil, which is CE marked for use in the EU. Peripheral embolization products include the IMPEDE\u00ae and IMPEDE-FX Embolization Plugs and IMPEDE-FX RapidFill\u00ae Device. In countries recognizing CE marking, the IMPEDE and IMPEDE-FX Embolization Plugs and the IMPEDE-FX RapidFill are indicated to obstruct or reduce the rate of blood flow in the peripheral vasculature. In the United States, the IMPEDE Embolization Plug is indicated to obstruct or reduce the rate of blood flow in the peripheral vasculature, and the IMPEDE-FX Embolization Plug is indicated for use with the IMPEDE Embolization Plug to obstruct or reduce the rate of blood flow in the peripheral vasculature. The IMPEDE and IMPEDE-FX Embolization Plugs are PMDA approved in Japan. Caution: IMPEDE-FX RapidFill is an investigational device, limited by Federal (or United States) law to investigational use.
