WIRED: Nanoflex as one of Zurich's hottest startups
14-10-2024 – What began as a student research project at the Multiscale Robotics Lab at ETH has now culminated into something larger and impactful for patients and healthcare.
“Today, the only option is to transfer the patient to a hospital capable of performing a thrombectomy—but every second the brain lacks oxygenated blood, brain cells die,” says Nanoflex founder Matt Curran.
Nanoflex's soft robotic system technology for the removal of blood clots in the brain can simplify and shorten procedure times and reduce the risks related to accessing the brain for interventional stroke treatment.
In March 2024, Nanoflex’s first robotics system was installed at the Jacobs Institute, a medical device innovation center in Buffalo, New York.
