MINNEAPOLIS, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- FastWave Medical, a clinical-stage medical device company developing advanced intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) technology, achieves a significant milestone with the issuance of its fifth utility patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
"FastWave's IVL systems have been designed with physician input to deliver meaningful improvements for the management of calcific disease, which is one of the most difficult challenges we face in treating blood flow-limiting vascular blockages," said Dr. Peter Schneider, Professor of Surgery in the Division of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery at University of California San Francisco.
