Executive Summary

While the focus of aortic embolic protection has previously been limited to stroke prevention, Emboline Inc. believes the concern should be broader because there are other complications that can be caused by emboli moving downstream, resulting in diminished function or failure of other organs, such as the kidneys. The company’s Emboline CAP device provides complete protection of the arterial system from these emboli, thanks to a central filter enabled by an access port that allows for tool access through the filter.
