Biomodex Teams Up with Physicians at Three of the World’s Top Medical Centers to Develop a Cutting-Edge Training Solution for Treatment of Ischemic Stroke

BIOMODEX, a pioneering digital health company that offers a unique and enhanced 3D printed solution for physician training, announced today the company has partnered with two of the top medical centers in France and a world-class health system in the United States to develop EVIAS Plus  - an innovative training solution for treatment of ischemic stroke.

Ischemic stroke accounts for about 87 percent of all strokes in the U.S. according to the American Stroke Society. This type of stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when a clot forms inside a vessel supplying blood to the brain, where aspiration and mechanical thrombectomy are common treatments. These procedures involve inserting a catheter into an artery in the arm or groin and moving it towards the blood clot under X-ray guidance. The clot may be removed by trapping it in a stent-retriever (mechanical), by sucking out the clot through the catheter (aspiration), or the neurointerventionalist may combine both methods.
