Healionics has developed a safer, more reliable means of dialysis access for patients with kidney failure. Our FDA Breakthrough-designated STARgraft vascular graft (synthetic blood vessel) has demonstrated superior 24-month clinical results showing resistance to both occlusion and infection -- the two primary causes of failure in on-market grafts. The company has 33 issued patents and a diverse product pipeline leveraging our core biomaterial technology to create novel implantable devices in additional cardiovascular, dialysis access, and general surgery applications. Comparable exits in dialysis access have been pre-revenue with average valuation of $500M.
Healionics is raising a $5M preferred equity round, led by Keiretsu Capital, to support the STARgraft pivotal clinical trial, FDA approval, and potential exit.
