Christopher Haig, Efemoral Medical – Efemoral Vascular Scaffold System | LSI Asia '25

Efemoral Medical is a clinical stage startup developing a next-generation drug-eluting bioresorbable scaffold for the treatment of PAD. Using a minimally invasive procedure, the Efemoral Vascular Scaffold System is inserted into the leg and expanded inside the artery to restore a channel for blood flow to the foot. The scaffold is strong enough to hold the vessel open, is flexible enough to accommodate the complex skeletal motion of the leg, and elutes a drug to prevent scarring inside the vessel which leads to the need for repeat procedures. The scaffold is naturally absorbed by the body over time, thus leaving behind no permanent implant.
