Supira Medical
Private Company
Total funding raised: $25M
Overview
Supira Medical is advancing a novel pVAD platform aimed at addressing significant unmet needs in high-risk interventional cardiology and acute heart failure. The company has generated clinical data from 99 patients across international early feasibility studies and is preparing for a U.S. pivotal trial. With a leadership team boasting extensive experience from major medtech firms, Supira is positioning its device as a potential best-in-class solution by combining low vascular access profile with high flow rates to minimize complications and avoid device escalation.
Technology Platform
Next-generation percutaneous ventricular assist device (pVAD) platform designed for low vascular access profile and high continuous blood flow, intended for temporary mechanical circulatory support in high-risk PCI and cardiogenic shock.

Competitive Landscape
The market is dominated by Abiomed's Impella family of pVADs, with other competitors including the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and larger extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or centrifugal flow systems. Supira's strategy is to differentiate on a technical profile that offers the high flow of larger devices through a lower-profile access, aiming to reduce complications and simplify clinical use.
