Clear Catheter Systems

ClearFlow (formerly Clear Catheter Systems) is a medical device company that develops and commercializes proprietary active clearance technologies to improve outcomes for patients undergoing surgery. The company's flagship product, the PleuraFlow Active Tube Clearance System, is designed to prevent chest tube clogging and the subsequent retention of blood and fluid in the chest cavity, a condition known as Retained Blood Syndrome (RBS). By proactively maintaining tube patency, ClearFlow's technology reduces the need for secondary interventions, lowers hospital costs, and improves patient recovery after cardiothoracic and other surgical procedures. Headquartered in Irvine, California, the company is focused on expanding its anti-clogging platform into other clinical areas such as urinary drainage and enteral feeding.
