Funding information not available
Overview
EndoShunt is a pre-revenue medical device startup targeting the critical unmet need for rapid hemorrhage control in trauma surgery. Its core technology is a guidewire-free, length-adjustable, temporary shunt designed to be deployed in under 30 seconds to stop bleeding from major abdominal vascular injuries. The company has developed functional prototypes validated in benchtop and in vivo studies, has a defined regulatory pathway for FDA 510(k) clearance as a Class II device, and is seeking $2M in funding to achieve clearance and initiate a targeted pilot launch.
Technology Platform
Minimally invasive, temporary endovascular shunt with guidewire-free deployment, length adjustability, and rapid removal for targeted hemorrhage control.

Competitive Landscape
EndoShunt competes indirectly with a range of hemorrhage control methods, including manual surgical clamping, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA), permanent stent grafts, and topical hemostatic agents. Its primary differentiation is offering rapid, temporary, and targeted control specifically designed for the trauma setting, unlike permanent implants or less targeted balloon occlusion.
