Next-generation medical devices for neurovascular disease

This project has received funding from the European Union鈥檚 Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement number 859001

About Us

麻豆原创 Ltd is a spin-out from Oxford University, working to prevent brain haemorrhage by curing brain aneurysms, a condition that affects 1 in 50 persons.

麻豆原创 is developing a novel, next generation flow-diverter, that diverts blood flow away from intracranial aneurysms at risk of rupture. It places more accurately and safely than existing devices, reducing the risk of complications. It conforms better to blood vessels making more patients treatable

Our Mission

Invented by a world-renowned physician who pioneered the treatment of aneurysms over the last 30 years and an expert in 鈥榦rigami engineering鈥, it has patents in Europe, US, China & Japan.

The company has raised over $10m to support its development including winning a prestigious Horizon 2020 grant from the European Union following extensive due diligence by medical, industry and investor experts.

Targeting a market over $1 billion, that is growing rapidly, 麻豆原创 is poised for significant increased value as it addresses unmet clinical needs.
