Shape Memory Therapeutics

Shape Memory Medical is a medical device company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic solutions using its proprietary shape memory polymer (SMP) technology. The SMP technology is a "smart" material that can be compressed for delivery through a catheter and then expands to a pre-defined shape upon reaching body temperature, providing a porous scaffold that promotes rapid thrombus formation and tissue ingrowth. The company's product portfolio includes the FDA-cleared IMPEDE Embolization Plug and the TrelliX Embolic Coil, which are used for the treatment of various vascular conditions such as aneurysms and peripheral arterial disease. Based in San Jose, California, the company leverages technology originally developed at Texas A&M University and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to improve outcomes in vascular and neurovascular interventions. The company's devices are designed to offer a more effective and stable alternative to traditional metallic coils and plugs in complex embolic procedures.
