The Company’s proprietary bioresorbable shape memory polymer offers a unique, more conformable solution that adapts seamlessly to the patient’s 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.

“Shape Memory Medical’s 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,” explained Ruppel.

The Company’s 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 – 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® 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.
