Overview
EnCompass Technologies is developing the F2 cerebral embolic protection (CEP) system, an investigational device designed to capture debris during TAVR procedures to prevent stroke and other brain injuries. The company's technology aims to offer superior filtration, full coverage of the brain's blood vessels, and enhanced ease of use compared to existing options. With an experienced leadership team from the cardiovascular device industry and FDA conditional IDE approval for a U.S. pilot study, EnCompass is positioned to address a significant unmet need in the growing structural heart market.
Technology Platform
Filter+ Flow (F2) cerebral embolic protection system featuring 30μm micropore filtration, full three-vessel coverage of the aortic arch with 360° wall apposition, and a low-profile, self-expanding design for ease of use.

Competitive Landscape
The cerebral embolic protection market for TAVR is currently dominated by Boston Scientific's Sentinel device and Edwards Lifesciences' TriGuard. These competitors have first-mover advantage, established clinical data, and extensive sales networks. EnCompass aims to compete on technological grounds, claiming superior filtration, three-vessel coverage stability, and user-friendly design.
