Overview

Amsel Medical is a private, pre-revenue medical device innovator focused on a novel vessel occlusion technology. Its flagship product, the SCureClamp iDOT, is a permanent, non-thermal, non-chemical clip delivered via an 18-gauge needle, designed to provide secure, transfixing occlusion superior to traditional ligation clips. With regulatory clearances in hand, the company is advancing towards commercialization in vascular surgery and trauma care, supported by a prestigious DoD SBIR grant for military applications. The technology addresses significant unmet needs in venous disease treatment and battlefield hemorrhage control.

Vascular DiseaseTraumaGeneral Surgery

Technology Platform

Interdigitation Occlusion Technology (iDOT™) – a mechanical, permanent, non-thermal, non-chemical vessel occlusion platform delivered via an 18-gauge needle for secure, transfixing ligation similar to a suture.

Opportunities

The massive, aging population with venous disease represents a multi-billion dollar market seeking more permanent treatment options.
The urgent, unmet need in military and civilian trauma for effective, portable hemorrhage control devices is supported by direct government funding and could lead to rapid adoption in emergency settings.

Risk Factors

The company faces significant commercialization risk as a pre-revenue entity needing to build sales infrastructure and secure reimbursement.
Market adoption is not guaranteed against entrenched competitors and established surgical practices.
Technological or clinical performance issues in early use could damage reputation.

Competitive Landscape

In vascular occlusion, Amsel competes against large medtech companies offering thermal ablation (RF, laser), sclerotherapy, and mechanical clips (e.g., Medtronic, BD, Abbott). In trauma, it would compete against advanced hemostatic agents and tourniquet systems. Its key differentiation is the secure, transfixing, permanent mechanical occlusion via a minimally invasive needle, a unique combination in the market.
